"We consider that the OSCE Minsk Group is very passive. The Minsk
Group should either achieve a result for establishing consensus
between Azerbaijan and Armenia or say that "we can't do this work,
let someone else do this work". It must either do this work or confess
that it can't", Turkish European Union Minister Egemen BagiĆ~_ told.
He said that Turkey accepted Azerbaijan's joy and grief as its joy
and grief: "The occupation of 20% of Azerbaijani territories by
Armenia afflicts most of all us. That's why I said that Armenia had
to withdraw from Karabakh than Eurovision. Then the conflict would
have been settled".
Asked "Will Turkey start to press the EU member countries which adopted
"genocide" decisions, to abolish the decisions if the European Court on
Human Rights passes a decision on limitation of freedom and expression
by Switzerland", the minister said: "Switzerland is not EU member,
that's why its decisions can't be related to union countries.
The prohibition of Switzerland and other countries to discuss the
historical issues is contrary to the EU values and fundamental
philosophy of the Council of Europe. Such decision is impossible".
