TURKISH PRESIDENT SLAMS US, RUSSIA OVER UNSETTLED KARABAKH CONFLICT
12:05 * 02.03.15
Turkey's president has criticized Russia and the United States over
a failure to reach an accord over the unsettled Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
According to the Turkish publication Sabah, Recept Tayyip Erdogan
addressed the topic on his way to Saudi Arabiya as he was asked by
journalists to comment on the Armenian-Turkish relations and the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Karabakh.
"As long as Armenia has not made any step over the seized lands,
we are not going to open the border," he said.
Erdogan said he thinks that both the United States and Russia will be
able to resolve the problem whenever they wish so. "As a matter of
fact the US and Russia will resolve the issue if they wish to. The
Azerbaijani nation's civilization and belief is known also to the
opposite side. That's what I think they base their judgment on,
not managing to demonstrate a fair approach," he added.
