"There is positive dynamics in the negotiations. If there was
no dynamics the negotiations wouldn't be conducted until now. We
keep loyalty to the negotiations because there is a progress in the
negotiation process despite its difficulties," Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev said in a TV interview, commenting on the results of
the talks in Chisinau with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
"A feature of the negotiations is that nothing is coordinated
before everything is coordinated. It means that we have to solve all
issues. Only then we can approach the large peace agreement," he said.
Asked to comment on the signing of protocols between Armenia and
Turkey, Ilham Aliyev said: "Our position is that we don't interfere
in the relations established or to be established between other
countries. We consider it as unacceptable. At the same time we don't
wish and allow others to interfere in our domestic affairs. Azerbaijan
has never interfered in the domestic affairs of other countries or
in the relations between others."
At the same time "There is positive dynamics in the negotiations. If
there was no dynamics the negotiations wouldn't be conducted until now.
We keep loyalty to the negotiations because there is a progress in the
negotiation process despit e its difficulties," Azerbaijani President

At the same time the Azerbaijani President said the Armenian Turkish
border had been closed because of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "Te
borders can be opened only after the lifting of that reason. This is
our position," he said.
"If the Turkish-Armenian relations are normalized before the solution
to Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenia will make its position harder
in the negotiation process. Armenia will try to introduce it as own
political and diplomatic success and very likely it will keep harder
and unacceptable position during the negotiations," Aliyev said.=0 D
"I am absolutely sure that the two processes - the processes of
solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict and opening of Turkish-Armenian
borders should be parallel. There is a connection, if not official,
but unofficial connection between these processes. This connection
should be saved and the two issues should be resolved in parallel and
at the same time. Otherwise the status-quo can change negatively in
the region.
