Baku. Lachin Sultanova - APA. "After the countries of the South
Caucasus gained their independence, we did our best to restore peace
and welfare in the region. But the occupation of the Azerbaijani
territories by Armenia made the future regional and world cooperation
difficult," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu wrote in
his article "Regional approach to the global peace" published in
Russia-based magazine Rossiya v globalnoy politike, APA reports.
The minister said the relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan were
unique as they were based on brotherhood and noted that owing to the
developing democracy, increasing economics, human factor and natural
resources Azerbaijan had become center of attraction in the Caucasus.
"But protraction of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, occupation of 20
percent of the territories by Armenia impedes Azerbaijan and the
region to fully use this important potential," he said.
Ahmet Davutoglu mentioned that being the member of OSCE Minsk Group
Turkey supports peaceful solution to Nagorno Karabakh.
"Unfortunately, the mechanism of solution that is as old as the
conflict itself has not produced efficient and concrete results yet.
Therefore, the improvement recently reached by Ilham Aliyev and Serzh
Sargsyan is very important. Minsk Group is the only international tool
calling the sides to take concrete steps to eliminate the divergence
of views and achieve peace agreement," he said.
