  • ANKARA: Prime Ministry's 100th publication a gesture to Baku

    Prime Ministry's 100th publication a gesture to Baku


    At a time when the Turkish government has been taking steps to
    normalize relations with Armenia, which has led to concerns in
    Azerbaijan, the Prime Ministry has allocated its 100th publication to
    Nagorno-Karabakh, a region at the center of a long-standing dispute
    between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

    Turkey and Armenia signed an agreement last month to reinstate formal
    ties and reopen the closed border between two countries, a move met
    with concern in Baku, who slammed its ally Ankara for agreeing to
    normalize ties with Yerevan, suggesting that the protocols signed by
    Armenia and Turkey have cast a shadow over the relationship between
    Ankara and Baku.

    In a gesture to Baku, the Prime Ministry recently covered the history
    of Nagorno-Karabakh in its 100th publication, titled `Karabakh in the
    Ottoman Archives.' Speaking to Today's Zaman about the publication,
    The Prime Ministry's State Archives General Director Yusuf Sarınay
    said they planned to send copies of the book to the Azerbaijani
    government. He said the 700-page book covers the relations of the
    Ottoman Empire with the region starting from 1590.
