Baku. Etibar Mammadov - APA. "Turkey's policy and official position
is that the Turkey-Armenia rapprochement begins from the withdrawal
of the troops and liberation of the Azerbaijani occupied territories.
Therefore, we regard these contacts as normal and I don't agree with
the views on the lack of relations. On the contrary, I consider that
there is a need to negotiate, pay mutual visits for solving problems
and learn the parties' positions," Azerbaijani Parliament vice-speaker
Bahar Muradova told journalists while commenting on the upcoming visit
of Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to Armenia, APA reports.
According to her, there are several facts that can have impact on the
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict: "Mediators, observers and
analysts are regularly noting this. Among them, one of the important
issues is Turkey-Azerbaijan, Turkey-Armenia and Azerbaijan-Armenia
relations. Those who have chosen Turkey-Armenia rapprochement as
a target should always take into consideration that it is possible
through Azerbaijan-Turkey and Azerbaijan-Armenia relations. If it is
not taken into consideration, any project will face fiasco. In this
respect I regard these relations as effective means. Those who have
set 2015 for Turkey-Armenia rapprochement should parallel the actions
that may have an impact on this factor. Otherwise, Turkey-Armenia
rapprochement is unlikely."
Bahar Muradova said Nagorno Karabakh conflict will also be on agenda
during Ahmet Davutoglu's visit.
