Turkish ambassador in Baku
BAKU. Dec 16
Armenia should stop occupying Azerbaijani territories and Azerbaijani
citizens should return to their residences, Turkish Ambassador to
Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic said.
"We believe the Azerbaijani territories should be freed from
occupation and refugees and displaced persons should return to their
homes," he told a press conference on the development of
Azerbaijani-Turkish relations in 2011 on Friday.
Speaking about the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, the
ambassador said the issue is directly connected to Armenia's military
aggression against Azerbaijan. "Everyone wants the Turkish-Armenian
border to open. However, the first border to be closed in this region
was the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and therefore the
Armenian-Azerbaijani border has to open in order for the
Turkish-Armenian border to open," the Turkish diplomat said.
Turkey wants all borders in the region to open and all courtiers to
work closely together, he said.
