    AHMET DAVUTOGLU: "TURKEY IS FULLY COORDINATING ITS POLICIES WITH AZERBAIJAN"

    APA
    April 26 2010
    Azerbaijan

    Baku - APA. "The occupied territories of Azerbaijan will be the top
    issue on the agenda of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during his
    upcoming visit to Turkey.

    Turkey sees this issue as our own problem and we are trying to keep
    this issue on agenda everywhere. Turkey is fully coordinating
    its policies with Azerbaijan and nobody can deal a blow to
    Turkish-Azerbaijani friendship. Everyone should know it very well",
    said Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu in his address to the
    Turkish parliament on April 26. "Turkey's relationship with Armenia
    will normalize in the same way as with other countries. We want to
    realize it. In parallel, Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict will find
    its solution by ending the occupation of Azerbaijani lands. The
    Armenia-Azerbaijan border will also open just as the Turkey-Armenia
    border opens... That is our perspective of peace. It means that there
    will be a corridor from Erzrum to Central Asia".

    The minister said Turkey has the right to take "necessary precautions"
    if the protocols were interpreted against their spirit. He said
    the parliaments would ratify the protocols while relevant political
    situation was created. Davutoglu said dynamics were created on the eve
    of 24 April as it was every year and Turkey showed necessary reaction
    to that. "Mr. Sargsyan recently announced that he had frozen the
    process concerning the ratification of the protocols with Turkey but
    made it clear that he had not permanently suspended the normalization
    process. For his part, the parliaments will ratify the protocols once
    political conditions were ripe".

    Davutoglu said Turkey was not an ordinary country and Ankara was
    taking deep interest in the developments in Azerbaijan, Armenia and
    Georgia. "We don't want status quo to continue in the Caucasus because
    it is not in favor of fraternal Azerbaijan, Armenia or Georgia and
    Russia and Iran as well. But there were not brave actions to change
    this status quo. Our purpose is to change this status quo in right
    direction. The stone has already moved from the place and it should
    be set in its place that it can bring peace and stability to the
    Caucasus. This is our purpose".
