    TURKEY DOES NOT SET FORTH KARABAKH ISSUE AS PRECONDITION TO NORMALIZATION: DAVUTOGLU

    Turkey does not set forth Karabakh issue as a precondition to
    Armenia-Turkey normalization, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
    stated at Council on Foreign Relations in Washington.

    His speech was focused on Iran's nuclear program and Armenia-Turkey
    reconciliation, Turkish Vatan e-source reports. "To have the Protocols
    ratified by both Parliaments, political and psychological atmosphere
    is to be ensured in Armenia and Turkey. We need tolerantly pave the
    way with our Armenian counterparts. If we succeed, the settlement of
    Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict will incite the process as well. Turkey
    does not lay down Karabakh issue as a precondition, though we know
    that conflicts in Caucasus, Middle East and Balkans are interrelated.

    We are optimistic and work over yielding positive results. We are
    ready to achieve reconciliation both at state level and mend fences
    with Armenian Diaspora worldwide. We are ready to give ear to our
    Armenian friends on our history," Davutoglu said.

    Meanwhile, Turkish Habergazete newspaper draws attention to the
    fact that Turkish Government tells Turkish people one thing on the
    Protocols and another-to the U.S. officials. Particularly, Turkish
    Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan repeatedly stated that Turkey-Armenia
    border will not open without Karabakh conflict settlement, while
    Turkish FM said in Washington that Turkey refused to set Karabakh
    issue as a precondition to the normalization.
