ArmInfo. Turkey's Foreign Minister Ali Babajan stated his country
supports the mediation of Minsk Group on settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"We support peace settlement with the co-chairmanship of the United
States, Russia and France," Babajan said at a press conference in
Ankara on 4 August. Trend reports. Babajan did not answer whether
"ongoing occupation of Azerbaijani territory by Armenia" would affect
Turkey's admission to the European Union. He mentioned there is another
format of settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia,
i.e. Minsk Group's work.
Minister said Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and Armenia's Serzh
Sargsyan negotiated in June. Babajan hoped for progress to result from
the negotiations. "Demographic structure of the region and the events
which has taken place in recent five- ten years must be taken into
account during settling of the conflict. We support peace settlement
of the Karabakh conflict with the mediation of the Minsk Group and
hope the countries will achieve an agreement," said Babajan.
