ANKARA (A.A) - 21.10.2009 - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said on Wednesday that territorial integrity of Azerbaijan was as
valuable as Turkey's territorial integrity.
"There is not any other country than Turkey which exerted that
much effort on this issue," added Davutoglu who addressed Turkish
Parliament and gave information about the protocols signed by Turkey
and Armenia on October 10 to establish diplomatic ties and develop
bilateral relations.
Davutoglu said that one of the targets of the protocols was to
establish a general normalization basis in Caucasus.
He recalled that many paragraphs in the protocols were making a
reference to normalize bilateral relations and thus to advance peace,
security and stability in the region.
Noting that Turkey's efforts for the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan would continue without any disruption, Davutoglu said that
he, President Abdullah Gul and Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan always
told that the basic issue in this subject was Karabakh issue.
He added that Turkey would exert efforts to solve the conflict
about Karabakh regardless of international, regional and bilateral
conjuncture.
