The Turkish leaders intend to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh problem
with RF President Dmitry Medvedev during his visit to Ankara scheduled
for this May, stated Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
He pointed out that the Turkish views the problem as its own, and it
will remain on the agenda. Turkey is against the status quo being
preserved in the Caucasus, Davutoglu said. He pointed out that the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict being unsettled is not in the region's
interests.
The Turkish FM outlines the immediate aims Turkey has set itself.
Among them are reconciliation with Armenia, settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, re-opening of the Armenian-Azerbaijani and
Armenian-Turkish borders. Turks and Armenians have lived together for
centuries and wherever they meet they will learn to share their pain
and common history and will be living together. This is a peaceful
future for the two peoples, Davutoglu said.
It should be noted Turkey has repeatedly stated that the settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a vital prerequisite for its
normalization of relations with Armenia. It was official Anakra's
destructive position, including its linking the Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, that forced Armenia's
ruling coalition to remove the Armenian-Turkish protocols from the
RA Parliament's agenda. RA President Serzh Sargsyan addressed the
nation and announced the suspension of the ratification process.
