Members of the Turkish Parliament's Friendship Group with Azerbaijan
are planning to visit Baku to inform Azerbaijan's press and public
about the recent developments between Turkey and Armenia, according to
Mustafa Kabakçı, head of the group.
"We are going to go to Azerbaijan to inform them as we see that there's
information pollution there," Kabakçı said Friday, the Anatolia news
agency reported. He said contrary to Azerbaijani press reports,
Turkey's policy has not changed.
"Our efforts to solve the regional problems peacefully and to develop
cooperation in the region continue. Turkey has always been on our Azeri
brothers' side," he said. Both President Abdullah Gül and Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an have several times assured Baku that
Turkey's sensitivities over the Nagorno-Karabakh problem remain same,
Kabakçı said.
"We believe that our brotherhood [with Azerbaijan] will strengthen," he
said. The date of the visit will be set next week.
Also, Turkey has prevented a group of Azerbaijani journalists from
traveling to Kars, an eastern Anatolian town on the border of Armenia,
to protest Ankara's talks with Yerevan to open the border, which has
been closed since 1993, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
