Davutoglu says Turkey to expect a much more influential intervention by the White House

 Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made a two-day working visit to Ireland where he gave interview to Irish Times and referred to a few international and regional issues underscoring Turkey’s role, Turkish Anadolu reported.  

“Of course Turkey’s traditional strategic relations like the EU and Nato are the backbone of Turkish foreign policy . . . with that backbone we must have a very active diplomacy everywhere so Turkey can contribute to regional and global peace,” Turkish diplomat said.
Asked about the fallout from a US congressional committee vote last week describing as genocide the first World War killing of Armenians by Turks, Davutoglu says: “We were expecting a much more influential intervention by the White House,” he said. “Of course the US is our strategic ally, but we cannot accept any insult to our nation through such a process, which is not serious but just addressing the local political context of certain members of congress.
