Policy in Changing World" held by the South East European Studies at

Turkey has taken measures before crises in its region and countries
should prevent wars and tensions, he said. Turkey wanted a secure
region and neighbors in Middle East, Caucasus, Balkans and Gulf region,
he added.
Davutoglu reiterated that the Karabakh dispute must be healed for
stability in the region.
"...Of course we want to open our border because we want full
integration with our neighbors. However, it would not be enough to open
Turkey-Armenia border. We also want that Armenia-Azerbaijan border is
opened so that regional stability could be restored," said Davutoglu,
