Turkish parliament speaker Cemil Cicek spoke about Armenian-Turkish
and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations at an Ankara-hosted conference
dedicated to the memory of late Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev,
Turkish news website Haberler.com reported.
Cicek told the conference that Azerbaijan was important for Turkey and
the protection of the rights of the Azerbaijanis was a priority in
Ankara's foreign policy.
`The restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is one of the
conditions for Armenian-Turkish normalization. Karabakh conflict is
the most serious issue threatening stability and peace in the
Caucasus. If the question is about long-term stability in the
Caucasus, we expect Armenia to take steps in this direction. To say
more exactly, we expect the Armenian policy to get free from the
Diaspora's tutorship,' the Turkish politician concluded.
