The main condition for Turkey to normalize relations with Armenia
is the liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, said
the head of PACE Movlud Chavushoglu, speaking on Saturday in the
Swedish city of Gothenburg at the conference "The Role of Turkey in
the European Union", Hurriyet reported.
"Turkey aims to develop cooperation with all neighbouring countries:
European countries - in the west, with its neighbours and the
Islamic world - in the East. But the main condition for normalizing
relations with Armenia is the liberation of the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan. Once this condition is fulfilled, the relationship
with Armenia also will normalize", Chavushoglu said.
Chavushoglu in his speech touched on the issue of a possible "change
of direction in foreign policy" of Turkey.
"The direction of foreign policy has changed, is changing. Turkey turns
away from the EU towards the East." Such statements are - baseless,
inaccurate, speculative talks. There is no change in the direction
of our policy. Full membership in the European Union still is the
main goal of Turkish foreign policy", Chavushoglu said.
