Establishing stability in the Caucasus will not be possible unless the
Karabakh conflict is settled, Turkish president Abdullah Gul has said.
Speaking at the Economic Cooperation Summit in Istanbul, the
Turkish leader said his country attaches a major importance to the
normalization of ties with Armenia, the Turkish news agency Cihan
reported.
"We attach much importance to the normalization of ties with Armenia.
To that end, we have undertaken certain steps. We are hopeful such
complicated issues will be resolved, and we will finally be able to
consider the possibility of establishing peace in the Caucasus. And
to achieve that, it is necessary to cease the occupation of the
Azerbaijani areas. There are one million refugees. This is a fact
that has to be considered," Gul said.
