"Our official attitude towards the normalization of Turkey-Armenia
relations is obvious."
"We have stated several times that every state determines relations
with its neighbors itself. But at the same time when saying "every
state" the relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey are beyond this
framework," Vice-Speaker of Azerbaijani Parliament and ruling party
official Bahar Muradova said.
Muradova said Azerbaijan-Turkey relations are quite different and
underlined that she does not want to believe that the friendly country
will take a step contradicting Azerbaijan's interests.
"We want to believe that Turkey will never harm Azerbaijan's interests
while normalizing its relations with Armenia and will take this action
within the implementation of the stipulations laid when the borders
were closed with Armenia," she said.
As regards Azerbaijan's official protest against Turkey, Bahar Muradova
said it is not time to express protest.
"Though Azerbaijani officials and public are concerned, they have not
lost their confidence that Turkey will protect Azerbaijan's interests
in the relations with Armenia. I think they will take our position
into consideration. Anyway, our position is obvious," she said.
