    Abdullah Gul: If 18-20 years passes since the independence of Nagorno
    Karabakh, it is not a good case


    By Times.am at 14 August, 2010, 12:10 pm
    On August 16 Turkish President Abdullah Gul will visit Azerbaijan. As
    it was informed the main topic of discussions will be Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict. On the eve of his visit, Abdullah Gul gave an interview to
    APA's Turkish bureau.

    `I believe that this status-quo in the Caucasus is not in favor of
    anyone - Azerbaijan, Turkey or Armenia. The world is changing and we
    need to solve the problems. If we freeze the problems, they can arise
    again',- he mentioned.

    According to Abdullah Gul there are UN resolutions and the Minsk Group
    is doing serious efforts, but unfortunately it couldn't achieve
    concrete results during 18 years. He also expressed opinion that if
    18-20 years passes since the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, it is
    not a good case.

    `The territorial integrity of every country should be respected in the
    contemporary world system. Armenia can establish good relations with
    its neighbors and reach access to sea and join the communication
    systems. Turkey is a great country. While reaching `zero problem' in
    the relations with our neighbors, it is not good to have problems with
    Armenia. Therefore fair solution of the regional problems is in favor
    of all of us',- he said.
    Turkish president is encouraging Minsk Group not to have just
    touristic travels and think a little bit about problem solving. `I put
    forward this initiative in 2008. First I visited Yerevan and then
    Sargsyan visited Turkey. We informed President Ilham Aliyev about the
    details of these processes. Putin and Medvedev also participated in
    these processes. Russia is an important country in the solution of
    this problem. Therefore we had detailed consultations around these
    issues'- Gil mentioned in the Interview.

    According to him such heavy problems can't be solved under the
    pressure of one country, they can be solved by the serious efforts of
    the interested and regional countries. `I took it into consideration
    and made this breakthrough in 2008 and the stones were shaken. There
    were wrong understandings in Armenia, Azerbaijan and in Turkey as
    well. If the difficult issues are solved easily they will not have a
    chronic character'- he said.

    Abdullah Gul also made an address to all leaders: 'We will not stay
    put and we will work unceasingly for the solution of the problem. The
    solution and peace are not easy. We have to work insistently. I will
    discuss these issues with my brother President Ilham Aliyev during my
    visit. I believe it will be a useful visit from this point of view'.
