  • ANKARA: Gul Arrives In Azerbaijan

    PRESIDENT GUL ARRIVES IN AZERBAIJAN

    Anatolia News Agency
    Sept 10 2008
    Turkey

    BAKU (A.A) -Turkish President Abdullah Gul has arrived in Baku at
    1645 hours (Turkish local time) in his private jet "ANA".

    Gul was welcomed to the Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport by
    Turkey's Ambassador in Baku Hulusi Kilic and other dignitaries.

    Asked, during the flight to Baku, if his recent visit to Armenia
    offended Azerbaijan, President Gul said that "Azerbaijan should not
    have been offended. Such an act would be unfair. Turkey sacrificed
    its interests and gave huge support to Azerbaijan. We are part of the
    same nation (with Azerbaijan). I do not think that such a reality has
    been weakened. Just as in Turkey, there could be different thinkers
    in Azerbaijan. We have respect for all views."

    Gul stressed that he received no "suggestion either from the United
    States or the European Union on his recent visit to Armenia."

    President Gul would return back to Turkey on Wednesday night after
    holding talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev.
