  • BAKU: New Turkish Ambassador: Quick Solution Of NK Conflict Will Be

    NEW TURKISH AMBASSADOR: QUICK SOLUTION OF NK CONFLICT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR ARMENIANS MORE THAN AZERBAIJAN AND TURKEY

    Today, Azerbaijan
    Nov 21 2006

    New Turkish Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary ambassador to Azerbaijan
    Hussein Avni Karsioglu's exclusive interview to the APA.

    How did you meet your appointment as ambassador to Azerbaijan?

    I am very excited. We were brought up with Azeri verses, songs,
    and tales. Later while working in Iran - Ardabil, Tabriz we enjoyed
    Azerbaijani poets' works. During the reign of Soviet Union watching
    opposite side of Iranian borders we asked if we would be able to
    visit Azerbaijan.

    The beginning of the new stage of partnership among Turkish countries
    is especially noted nowadays. As a diplomat closely acquainted with
    the region what are your plans concerning realization of the new stage?

    It is impossible for an ambassador to solve everything on his own. We
    have to determine joint problems with Turkish and Azerbaijani leaders
    and realize joint projects. I will do my best to raise the living
    standards of our people. We have to cooperate with all organizations.

    I can meet with anyone in order to help Turkish people.

    You are closely acquainted with Nagorno Garabagh problem. How do you
    estimate the present situation?

    We wish the problem to be solved soon. Quick solution of Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict will be beneficial for Armenians more than Azerbaijan
    and Turkey. Armenians are not our enemies. We want them to gain
    democracy and human rights, but not at the expense of occupying
    others' lands.

    And not genocide claims against Turkey...

    Of course. This is the other illogical side of the problem.

    When are you leaving for Baku?

    The date is not exact, very likely at the end of December. I am
    looking forward to go to Azerbaijan.

    Can we expect any new dimensions in the bilateral relations after
    you take up your assignment?

    I am very excited and will be more excited when I meet with
    Azerbaijani poets and writers. I will be very happy to meet Bakhtiyar
    Vahabzadeh. His poems guided us.
