Ankara - APA. "Turkish parliament will not pass a decision to reopen
the borders with Armenia unless the occupied Azerbaijani territories
are released.
The Republican People's Party will do its best for it," chairman of the
Republican People's Party (CHP) Deniz Baykal said at the meeting with
Azerbaijani parliamentarians. CHP chairman underlined the importance
of Azerbaijan-Turkey relations and said the protocols signed with
Armenia do not meet Azerbaijan's expectations for the solution to
the problems in the South Caucasus.
"There are more important problems to be solved first of all in the
South Caucasus. The occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories
by Armenia is at the top of these problems. The main problem is to
end this occupation, and of course the protocols on the reopening
of Turkey-Armenia borders dashed Azerbaijan's hopes. It should be
understood," he said.
Deniz Baykal said Azerbaijan is an important country not only for
Turkey, but also for the entire region.
"Azerbaijan is our brother. This is not platonic love, but real
feeling. Turkey-Azerbaijan cooperation is the basis of stability in
the South Caucasus. I tell my Azerbaijani brothers not to pay much
attention to these events. Don't worry, we all are here, know our
tasks and will preserve our friendship with Azerbaijan. We realize
that our friendship is of great importance in the region, we will not
close eyes to the damage on Azerbaijani people. I want everybody to
know this," he said.
