Yerevan, 17 May: The normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations
depends on whether Armenia and Azerbaijan can reach a consensus over
the Karabakh issue, Council of Europe Secretary-General Terry Davis
has told an Arminfo correspondent.
Asked about Turkey blocking the Armenian border, Terry Davis said it
would be right to ask this question of Turkey itself.
"I think this issue will be resolved after Armenia and Azerbaijan
reach a consensus on settling the Karabakh conflict and determining
the status of Nagornyy Karabakh, because problems between Armenia
and Turkey take root in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations," the
secretary-general said.
He said the Karabakh conflict had been the most important issue in the
South Caucasus for the last 15 years. Davis added that the solution
to the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict would not only change the situation
in the South Caucasus but also Armenian-Turkish relations.
