Turkey will make every possible effort to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem, the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
after the meeting with the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation,
CNN Turk reported.
Azerbaijani MPs, including Samad Seyidov, Nizami Jafarov, Ali
Huseynov, Ganira Pashayeva, Mubariz Gurbanli, Fazil Gazanfaroglu, Akram
Abdullayev, Gultakin Hajibeyli, Asef Hajiyev, Rovshan Rzayev and Fazail
Agamali are in Ankara to discuss the situation with the normalization
of the Turkish-Armenian relations with the Turkish officials.
Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers, Ahmet Davudoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocol in Zurich on Oct. 10.
Armenian-Turkish ties have been severed since 1993 due to Armenia's
claims to recognize so-called "Armenian genocide" and Armenia's
occupation of Azerbaijani lands.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed
forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently
holding the peace negotiations.
