Turkey wants to see peace in the region, Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan told journalists at the airport before departing for
US to participate in the World Nuclear Security Summit.
In reference to his meeting with US President Barack Obama, Erdogan
said that the main topic on the agenda will be the normalization
with Armenia.
"In US I will meet also Obama. The priority topic will be the
developments in the Armenia-Turkey normalization process. I sent
my special delegate to Yerevan. I sent him also to Azerbaijan. I
conveyed my message to [Serzh] Sargsyan and [Ilham] Aliyev. In US
we will have a chance to evaluate our work. We would like the OSCE
Minsk Group to spend more active efforts for the establishment of
peace and tranquility. We touched upon the issue also with Obama and
[Russian Prime Minister Dmitry] Medvedev and [French President Nicola]
Sarkozy," Erdogan was quoted by Turkish media as saying.
While speaking about his recent official visit to France and his
meeting with President Nicolas Sarkozy, Erdogan mentioned that he
had suggested him to cross the Armenia-Turkey border together.
"I told Sarkozy that the opening of the border is not a problem. If
the Minsk Group fulfills its obligations, we can take a car or get
on board of train and cross the border together," said Erdogan.
