Ahmet Davutoglu Unresolved conflicts in Azerbaijan and Georgia are
a threat to the whole of Europe, Turkey's foreign minister told the
OSCE Ministerial Council today.
"Unresolved conflicts in the territories of Azerbaijan and Georgia
threaten the security of the whole European continent," Ahmet Davutoglu
said in his address to the Ministerial Council.
He said that the conflicts had emerged for different reasons and
each required an individual approach "But at the same time, common
international principles should also be taken into consideration in
the process to resolve the conflict. Adhering to territorial integrity
underlies all the solutions. In this context, I would like to express
Turkey's support for the OSCE Minsk Group."
"We ask both parties to achieve a result as soon as possible. Turkey
thinks the increasing efforts directed towards resolution of the
conflict will bring lasting peace and stability to the region and
will strengthen rapprochement between the countries," Davutoglu said.
He said it was wrong to approach the settlement in isolation.
Referring to the Russian-Georgian war, he said, "The events in
Georgia in 2008 showed that conflicts conflicts dubbed 'frozen'
are not 'frozen' at all."
