Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said at a news conference that
he will visit Azerbaijan soon.
The Turkish diplomat has not yet determined an exact time of the visit.
The conflicts in South Caucasus damage important transport and
energy projects of the region, Turkish Foreign Minister Babacan
said. Turkey's peace attempts target to settle conflicts in South
Caucasus. Turkey is interested in solution of the Georgian-Russian,
Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish conflicts, he stressed.
The Caucasus Stability & Cooperation Platform, which Turkey offers,
coincides with policy of the European Union (EU) in the region,
the Turkish Foreign Minister said.
Babacan said that Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandyan will
also visit Turkey.
"There is no need to wait for the Turkey-Armenia match, which will be
held in October 2009, to hold a meeting between Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish President Abdullah Gul. The Presidents
can meet within next months," Babacan said.
