FM: Turkey to make efforts to restore stability in South Caucasus
Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 15 / Trend S. Agayeva /
Turkey supports Azerbaijan's position on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Ankara will continue making efforts to restore stability in the South
Caucasus, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told media today.
"Turkey supports Azerbaijan's territorial integrity," he said. "Ankara
will continue trying to achieve stability in the South Caucasus
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 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven 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 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.
