PM: Liberation of occupied Azerbaijani lands strategic goal for Turkey
Liberation of occupied Azerbaijani lands is a strategic goal for the
Turkish government, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday
during a speech in Parliament.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
According to Davutoglu, after the liberation of occupied territories
of Azerbaijan, Turkey will also take steps to normalize relations
between Ankara and Yerevan.
Turkish PM urges Armenia not be taken hostage to historical events, as
well as not to reject offers Ankara to normalize bilateral relations.
The break in relations and closing of the Turkish-Armenian border in
1993 were due to Armenia's claims for recognition of the "Armenian
genocide" in the world, as well as Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani
lands.
