    Gul said that Turkey supports the dialog process that Azerbaijan and
    Armenian signed a joint document in Russia recently.

    Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Wednesday that "we are dealing
    with the problems of Caucasia in a brave manner altogether."

    Speaking at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart
    Ilham Aliyev in Ankara, Gul said that "Caucasian leaders display
    the will to resolve problems in various platforms. This is a very
    positive development."

    Congratulating Aliyev for having been recently re-elected, Gul said
    that "the Turkish people have been honored to welcome Aliyev in his
    first foreign trip after getting re-elected."

    "The presidential election in Azerbaijan was a good model for the whole
    region. At a time when the Caucasus is going through an important
    phase, we had a chance to discuss the regional problems extensively
    with Aliyev on Wednesday," Gul said.

    "It is in the interest of all in the Caucasus to develop
    cooperation. Within this framework, Turkey proposed the Caucasus
    Cooperation and Stability Platform. A climate of understanding via
    dialog will help resolve problems in the Caucasus. I can state that
    a new process began to solve the Karabagh problem," Gul stressed.

    Reminding that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsian signed a joint document in Russia recently,
    Gul said that Turkey supports the dialog process that began in Moscow.

    Gul said that Aliyev and he also discussed energy matters, including
    the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum
    natural gas pipeline.

    "These great projects are open to the whole region and will bring
    peace and stability," Gul said.

    "Bilateral relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan continue at the
    highest level possible," Gul also said.
