Just like Azerbaijan, Turkey will soon be grieving over the 20th
anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.
The statement came from chief of the department of political analysis
and information of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan
Elnur Aslanov.
He was speaking to journalists as part of the presentation of the
collection of articles "Azerbaijani-Turkish relations over the past
20 years: successes and opportunities' released with the support of
the Center for Strategic Studies of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan-Turkey
Businessmen Association.
"We hope to hear the calls 'we all are from Khojaly, we all are
Azerbaijanis' in Istanbul", he said.
According to him, Azerbaijan and Turkey have always been next to each
other and supported each other in difficult times.
'Our relations are best described in Heydar's Aliyev statement 'two
states and a single nation'. In 1918 the Caucasus Islam Army of Nuru
Pasha rushed to help Azerbaijani people to save them from the massacres
committed by Armenian dashnaks when tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis
died. As a protest against occupation of 20% of Azerbaijani lands in
1993 Turkey closed borders with Armenia', Aslanov said.
According to Aslanov, Turkey urges the world community to insert
pressure on Armenia for the resolution of the Karabakh conflict and
liberation of the occupied Azerbaijani lands.
'It is necessary to raise pressure on Armenia. Yerevan has to bear
responsibility before the world community for the bloody crimes they
committed', Aslanov said.
He noted that today the relations between Baku and Ankara are on
the rise.
'Azerbaijan is a regional leader in the South Caucasus and it helps
Turkey to turn into a leading transit state. This is promoted by the
energy projects Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum and the
project of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad under construction.
The agreement on strategic partnership and mutual assistance signed
last year is a clear proof of our fraternal and strategic relations',
Aslanov said.
