/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Babacan's talks in Baku came after bilateral
talks with his Armenian counterpart, Edward Nalbandian, and Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan on Friday and Saturday on the sidelines of
the 45th Munich Security Conference.
The Nagorno Karabakh conflict was in focus during the talks between the
two ministers, with Babacan highlighting the importance of resolving
disputes for stability in the region on the basis of international
law norms and principles and maintenance of territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Burak Ozugergin told the
Anatolia news agency.
Mammadyarov lent support to the planned Caucasus stability and
cooperation platform, voicing Baku's willingness to intensify efforts
to institutionalize the idea.
Ahead of his departure from Munich for Baku late on Sunday, Babacan
told reporters that Armenia and Turkey are targeting the "full
normalization" of ties through ongoing talks.
"I consider third countries' contributions and observations of this
process useful while Turkey and Armenia discuss issues on a bilateral
platform. From whichever point of view, we are in the midst of a
process in which meetings between Turkey and Armenia are at their
most intense and important level since World War I," he said.
