Turkey and Armenia are not taking actions behind the closed doors,"
the Turkish Prime Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan said in an interview
to Al-Jazeera television channel. Erdogan was commenting on the
Turkey-Armenia relations, the Turkish Anadolu news agency reported
with reference to Al-Jazeera.
Turkey and Armenia do not take any action behind the closed doors,
Erdogan said.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the protocols Ankara-Yerevan in Zurich on October 10.
Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey have been broken due
to Armenia's claims of an alleged genocide, and its occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. The border between them has been broken since 1993.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
The prime minister reiterated his loyalty to promises he sounded at
the Azerbaijani parliament.
