Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan expressed need to abstain from
commenting on the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
According to Turkish Cihan news agency, Babacan, commenting on the
recent statement of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan that Nagorno
Karabakh will never be returned to Azerbaijan, said that such
statements hinder the resolution process.
"We attach a special importance to the statements made at the
negotiation table if they really want the solution to the problem. We
suppose that the sides must abstain from the statements that may
cause hard to the negotiations", noted the Minister,
Notably, Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan excluded possibility of any
trading around Nagorno Karabakh. During the session of the "Flourishing
Armenia" party he said "those who consider that the talks proceed
around trades on Karabakh are deeply mistaken. Karabakh is our land, it
is invaluable, therefore, it is inadmissible to trade in this issue".
He said the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem has no
alternative and it will lead to recognition of the right of the
"Karabakh people" for self-determination.
