In the process of establishing peace in the South Caucasus and in the
region, as well as establishing cooperation and prosperity beyond its
borders, the normalization of Armenia-Azerbaijan and Armenia-Turkey
relations should not be viewed as a separate process, since it requires
consideration on a region-wide level, said Turkish President Abdullah
Gul in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper and MK-Turkey
news agency.
In his words, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is the main obstacle in
creating a favorable climate for peace, security and cooperation in
the South Caucasus.
"I believe that Turkey's opinion on this issue coincides with Russia's
view. The progress that might be achieved on the path to the Karabakh
conflict settlement from this perspective will be crucial," Gul said.
The Turkish leader then expressed his country's readiness to fully
support the search for a solution to the conflict, "a process that
personally involves Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and also to
do everything possible for further resolution of the conflict.
"The progress attained on this path will undoubtedly have a positive
impact on Turkish-Armenian relations.This is Turkey's position
on normalization of ties with Armenia. We sincerely hope for the
successful completion of the normalization process," he said.
