Turkey is ready to take on the role of a mediator to ensure stability
in the region and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, if it will be
a desire from Azerbaijan, told Trend in New York Turkish Foreign
Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"Turkey is ready to render any assistance in resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict" - Davutoglu said.
According to him, if Turkey falls to the lot of opportunity to enhance
the role in the conflict, she would do anything for liberation of
Azerbaijani territories and the restoration of stability in the region.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
