Faruk Logoglu: "Such steps must be made after the withdrawal of
Armenian troops from the occupied territories and solution of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan"
Ankara. Mayis Alizadeh - APA. Turkish opposition leaders made comments
on some forces' plans to establish business relations between Turkey
and Armenia. Member of the parliament from the Nationalist Movement
Party (MHP), Professor Ozcan Yenicari told APA that these projects
aimed to damage the Turkish-Azerbaijani brotherhood. "Such projects
have always existed. Turkey faced with capitulating Sevres treaty.
Then they tried to give all Cyprus to Greeks. Now some non-governmental
organizations supported by the West are continuing old games using
the unstable foreign policy of the government. Those, who signed a
memorandum for the development of trade relations between Turkey and
Armenia, have no relation to Turkey. They are financed by the foreign
Armenian organizations. Their main goal is to create discords between
Azerbaijan and Turkey. Look back to the state of relations between
the two fraternal countries after the signing of Zurich protocols in
October, 2009. Unfortunately Turkish flags were lowered in Azerbaijan
and Azerbaijani flags were lowered in Turkey.
Armenians aim to make Azerbaijan dissatisfied with Turkey and to
create confrontation between the two fraternal countries and to make
them to forget the occupation of Karabakh".
Yenicari considers that Azerbaijan should establish strong lobby
in Turkey against so-called non-governmental organizations,
which try to create confrontation. "We have to establish joint
non-governmental organizations in the fields of politics, culture and
economy. Armenia supported by the OSCE Minsk Group members tries to
prolong the occupation of Karabakh as far as it can. I always said
that the way of liberation of Karabakh from the occupation passes
through Ankara. We have to establish strong Azerbaijani lobby in
Turkey to struggle against these non-governmental organizations,
which are supported by the foreign Armenian organizations and don't
think about the interests of Turkey".
Deputy chairman of the Republican People's Party (CHP), MP from
Adana, former Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Faruk Logoglu said any
steps and initiatives should meet requirements of the relations with
Azerbaijan and this is main condition for the establishment of any
relation between Turkey and Armenia. "Why Turkish-Armenian relations
are in this state? This is because of Nagorno Karabakh problem. While
this problem is not being solved, any step between Turkey and Armenia
will damage the Turkish-Azerbaijani relations. The non-governmental
organizations are attempting to do something independently, but
sometimes it is impossible to control their activity. Such contacts
should have common framework that is the withdrawal of Armenian troops
from the occupied territories and solution of the Nagorno Karabakh
problem within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Only after
that the process can be easy".
