BAKU. July 17
Turkey, which is a member of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group set up in order to mediate
the settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over
Nagorno-Karabakh, is ready to be actively engaged in the settlement
process, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said at a joint press
conference with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov following
a meeting with him in Baku on Wednesday.
"If the OSCE Minsk Group has failed to achieve any results on this
issue in 20 years, the international community should ask why,"
Davutoglu said.
Baku and Ankara are maintaining active contacts while settling the
Azeri-Armenian conflict, and therefore Turkey should take more active
role in the settlement process, he said.
"I believe the other members of the OSCE Minsk Group should also
be more actively involved in the peace process. It is well known
that Turkey is also a member of the OSCE Minsk Group and is ready
to actively participate in this process. It is important for this
conflict to be resolved in the near future," he said.
