The current situation in the Caucasus is not suitable for Turkey,
Azerbaijan and Armenia, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said
in an interview with NTV channel.
"Delay in truce in the region (the Caucasus) does not mean that there
will be no peace. On the contrary, it shows importance to accelerate
the truce," Davutoglu said.
Turkey and Armenia reached agreement to launch internal political
consultations regarding the conclusion of 'The protocol on
establishment of diplomatic relations' and 'The protocol on development
of bilateral relations' at the negotiations under the mediation of
Switzerland, Turkey's Foreign Ministry said.
The statement said internal political consultations over two protocols,
which had been agreed on under Swiss mediation, would be completed
within six weeks which would be followed by ratification at Turkish
and Armenian parliaments.
Both protocols create basis to normalize bilateral relations, the
Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
Armenia-Turkey ties have been severed since 1993.
