    Armenian-Turkish relations to improve after Karabakh conflict
    settlement - U.S. expert

    BAKU. June 7

    The European Union and United States made a mistake when, during the
    active rapprochement of the Armenian-Turkish relations in 2009, they
    took this process out of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict context, former
    U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Brize said.

    Settling the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and mending the
    Armenian-Turkish relations are interrelated, Brize said on Friday at
    "EU-Azerbaijan: Security and Integration" international conference in
    Baku.

    Brize said that having progress in one direction would bring progress
    in the other and that everything was interrelated.

    Armenia and Turkey still have no diplomatic ties. The 1915 events in
    the Ottoman Empire remain the stumbling block in the Armenian-Turkish
    relations. A number of counties have recognized the genocide of
    Armenians in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 as a result of which, according to
    various data, over 1.5 million people were killed. Armenia wants
    Turkey to acknowledge the genocide and Turkey refuses to do so.

    Official Ankara demands that the Karabakh conflict is resolved on the
    basis of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
