"It is not right to regard this flight as a change in Turkey's position
on Nagorno Karabakh conflict"
Baku. Ramil Mammadli - APA. "Azerbaijani media and society know well
the position of Turkey on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and Armenia.
However, Turkish ambassadors to Azerbaijan have announced their
positions on this up to now. The Turkish President, Prime Minister,
officials and the Speaker of the Parliament have clearly announced
their position on this issue. Flights from Yerevan to Turkey are
operated by private companies. As media reports, these are commercial
flights. Private companies have no problems in Turkey in carrying out
these activities," said Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Ismayil Alper
Coskun while commenting on Azerbaijani media reports on launching of
Yerevan-Van flight, APA reports.
Ambassador said that it is not right to issue statements that
commercial flights will change Turkey's position on Nagorno Karabakh.
"No country supports Azerbaijan's position on Nagorno Karabakh conflict
more than Turkey, which has closed its borders with Armenia.
I ask media also to highlight Turkey's positive steps, not to confuse
the people. There is nothing to worry. Turkey's position on Karabakh
problem, Armenia has not changed," he said.
