Baku - APA. "I met with 11 Azerbaijani parliamentarians last week and
had very sincere talks with them. We discussed the regional processes,
including protocols signed with Armenia. I told them that I am keeping
words I said at the Azerbaijani parliament. We will never make actions
against our Azeri brothers", said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan at the meeting of the parliamentary faction of ruling Justice
and Development Party (AKP). Erdogan said that provocateurs tried to
create discords between Azerbaijan and Turkey and to create rumors
misleading the community. "Our compatriots and our Azeri brothers
shouldn't believe them. Everybody should be confident that we consider
Azerbaijani flag and land dear and holy as Turkish. Our martyrs in
Baku are witnesses of that. We don't leave Azerbaijani interests behind
of Turkey's. Azerbaijan's grieve is grieve of Turkey and Azerbaijan's
happiness is a happiness of Turkey".
Erdogan said accused some political forces, considering the Nationalist
Movement Party, in attempt to use the developments in own favor. "There
are some forces in Turkey, who supported those provocateurs. They
try to provoke the people. You see how the Azerbaijani-Turkish
relations were developed in seven years of our power. They try to
provoke during the Turkey-Armenia match in Bursa as well. The city
authorities fulfilled only FIFA decision there. The community knows
those who try to provoke the people. It is clear what they have done
for the Turkic world during their 3.5-year government.
Everything is clear. I know that our people will not accept that.
Azerbaijani people should also prevent this game. We were hurt when
Azerbaijani and Turkish flags were removed from the Martyrs Mosque
in Baku. I believe that our Azeri brothers will discuss its meaning".
