Memmedyarov of Azerbaijan, and Ahmet Davutoglu of Turkey at their
meeting in Ganja, Azerbaijan
Turkish foreign minister says relations with Armenia to remain frozen
until Armenia withdraws from Karabakh
GANJA, Azerbaijan (Turkish Press)--A normalization of relations between
Turkey and Armenia is impossible without a solution to the 20 year-old
conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed territory of
Nagorno-Karabakh, said Turkey's foreign minister during a joint press
conference with his Azeri and Georgian counterparts Elmar Memmedyarov
and Maya Pandjikidze in the Azerbaijani city of Ganja on Wednesday.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said opening the border
with Armenia would be possible if Yerevan withdraws its forces from
the region.
Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Memmedyarov said the parties discussed
the Southern Gas Corridor, energy issues, and the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars
regional rail link project, which will directly connect Turkey,
Georgia and Azerbaijan.
He also said they exchanged views on further developing relations.
A joint declaration was signed by the three ministers after the annual
Turkey-Azerbaijan-Georgia tripartite meeting.
The first meeting took place in Turkey in 2012 and the second in
Georgia.
