"Turkey seeks to play active role in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution"
17 September 2010 [13:15] - Today.Az
Being one of the initiators of the peace process to resolve the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkey has sought to
play an active role in its settlement, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu said in an interview with CNN Turk.
Davutoglu expressed concern about the situation in the Caucasus
region, which hurts both parties.
"The status-quo in the region has been overcome, because it did not
meet the interests of both countries [Azerbaijan and Armenia].
However, the current situation can not remain unchanged," Davutoglu
said.
Ankara does not want to become a competitor to other
countries-mediators in the conflict, Davutoglu said.
Davutoglu one more time expressed hope for signing a peace treaty,
which is possible under the condition of patient, calm and careful
approach to solving problems. Speaking on the normalization of the
Turkey- Armenia bilateral relations, Davutoglu reaffirmed Ankara's
desire to establish full diplomatic relations with Yerevan, stressing
that this is possible only after signing of the armistice between
Azerbaijan and Armenia.
"Sooner or later, relations with Armenia will become neighborly," he added.
