ArmInfo. "The Turkish-Armenian protocols, signed last year, had no
lasting impact on the relations of two Turkic nations, Turkey and
Azerbaijan", Ambassador of Turkey to the UK Unal Cevikoz said during
an event entitled "Azerbaijan and Turkey: Redefining the Parameters
of the Relationship" organized by The European Azerbaijan Society on
25 October in the Burton Room of the Institute of Directors, London.
"Nothing can negatively affect the Turkish-Azerbaijani brotherhood",
the ambassador said. He went on to illustrate this fact by citing
the Agreement on Strategic Partnership and Mutual Assistance,
signed between President Aliyev and Turkish President Gul in August;
energy agreements ratified by the Turkish BOTAS and Azerbaijani SOCAR
companies; and the recent strategic agreement signed during the Summit
of Turkic- speaking countries.
"Turkish-Azerbaijani relations, as far as I can see, are bound to
continue, grow and intensify in a new global, political, economic and
cultural order", the ambassador said. He thinks that there will be
a continuation of solidarity with respect to primary foreign policy
objectives.
The Ambassador then described the linguistic, religious and cultural
links between the two countries, recalling that Heydar Aliyev, former
Azerbaijani President, considered the relationship to be represented
by the phrase: "single nation, two states."
Ambassador Cevikoz referred to the post-independence relationship
as having three phases - an emotional period, reuniting two Turkic
nations (1991-93); a decade when strategic partnerships were developed
(1993-2003); and the maturity era (since 2003).
As it is known from history, the peak is followed by fall.
