15:49, 7 December, 2012
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. Official Ankara continues linking the
development of the Armenian-Turkish relations with the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. As reports "Armenpress" citing Turkish Sabah daily, this
decision of the Turkish side was once more reaffirmed by Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu. To the reporter's question
whether any progress can be expected in Armenian-Turkish relations
before 2015 Davutoglu declared once again that negotiations regarding
the regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can pave the way for
the development of the Armenian-Turkish relations.
Among other things Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Ahmet
Davutoglu stated: "We discussed the Nagorno Karabakh issue with
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Lavrov
in Istanbul. Presidential elections will be held in Armenia in the
beginning of the next year and in Azerbaijan in Autumn, 2013. There are
some difficulties, which may serve as an impediment for any progress
before the elections. On the other hand also the psychological
atmosphere is not suitable yet. As to the Nagorno Karabakh issue we
want the negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan to continue in
order to achieve distinct results."
As per the Armenian-Turkish relations Turkey again speaks in terms of
preconditions taking no notice of the persuasions of the international
community about the regulation of relations with the neighbors and
opening the last closed boarder in Europe.
