"As our Azerbaijani brothers and sisters are still suffering from
the Armenian aggression, Turkey won't establish any relations with
Armenia," said Turkish Minister for European Union Affairs Egemen
Bagis.
"As the national leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev stated, we are
indeed "one nation in two states. At present, Azerbaijan is one the
most important investors of Turkey," Bagis said.
'APA quotes him as saying that the close energy cooperation between the
two countries (Baku-Supsa, Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum,
TANAP and TAP projects) would play an important role in solution of
Europe's energy problems within several decades.
The minister noted that over the last 10 years, Azerbaijan has highly
developed: "Today, for its pace of development, Azerbaijan and Baku
are able to compete with the world's major countries and cities. But
in the last decade, the number of Armenian population dropped to
2 million from 4 million. People are leaving the country due to
poverty and economic difficulties and the main reason of exodus is
the Armenian government's unwillingness to solve the problems with its
neighbours. Unfortunately, 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territories
are still under the occupation of Armenia and the country still has
about a million refugees and internally displaced persons. Armenia
should put an end to its aggressive policy. As our Azerbaijani brothers
and sisters are still suffering from the Armenian aggression, we
won't establish any relations with Armenia. Yerevan should pass right
decisions that meet the interests of its citizens. A right decision is
the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, establishment of good
relations with Azerbaijan and relevantly with Turkey and Georgia. The
Armenians can take advantage of some regional investment projects in
favor of them by this way. However, right decisions should be passed
to achieve it."
