very important year from the view of development of Turkey-Azerbaijan
relationship, APA reports. The diplomat said the two countries
had perfect political relations embodied ten meetings at the level
of presidents and prime ministers and 30 ministerial visits this
year. Speaking about the economic relations Kilic said trade turnover
between the two countries reached 2.5 million dollars. He reminded
about the successful cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan in the
transnational oil and gas projects and said Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway
would be opened in 2010 which would lay a road from China to London.

Azerbaijan and Turkey. This year was a year of 90th anniversary of
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and its parliament and army, 85th
anniversary of Republic of Turkey, 90th anniversary of establishing
of the Caucasian Islamic Army and its arrival in Azerbaijan and

conflict and would always support Azerbaijan in this issue. Touching
on the campaign of apology to Armenians, the ambassador said the
Turkish nation did nothing to apologize and would not apologize to
anyone. He said those who joined the campaign were wrong.
