Baku: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Azerbaijani
counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov stated on Wednesday that they were
unpleased with the OSCE Minsk Group's studies in finding a political
solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh involving Armenia and
Azerbaijan.
Paying an official visit to Azerbaijan, Davutoglu held a joint
press conference with his counterpart Mammadyarov and evaluated the
solution process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan
and Armenia.
Underlining that Armenian soldiers should leave Nagorno-Karabakh,
Davutoglu said "Turkey is consistently in consultation with Azerbaijan
as it has always been and from now on we will continue to support
the fair approach of Azerbaijan".
Reminding that Nagorno-Karabakh conflict had not been solved over
20 years and Azerbaijani lands have still been under occupation,
Davutoglu said "it is time for international community to evaluate it".
Davutoglu said, "The Minsk Group has made an effort on this issue
over 20 years and we appreciate those efforts but they have not given
any results. Everyone should question the causes of the failure and
co-chairs should play more active roles. The members of Minsk Group
should take actions, too".
"Turkey is also a member of the group but as co-chair has carried out
the process Turkey cannot give enough contribution to it. Turkey will
support every positive step to solve the issue," said Davutoglu.
Pointing out a new implementation between Turkish and Azerbaijani
diplomats starting on May, Davutoglu said that a specific number
of Turkish diplomats in Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan and also
Azerbaijani diplomats in Foreign Ministry of Turkey would work like
they were working in their country.
The Minsk Group spearheads the OSCE's efforts to find a political
solution to the conflict in and around Nagorno-Karabakh involving
Armenia and Azerbaijan.
