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.
