Baku, Azerbaijan, July 26
Trend:
Turkey’s ambassador to Azerbaijan Ismayil Alper Coskun has commented on the information about the possible opening of borders between Turkey and Armenia.
Turkey’s stance on normalization of the relations with Armenia is clear: the relations can be normalized after liberation of Azerbaijani lands from occupation, Coskun told AzTV July 26.
Only after this, there will be made a decision jointly with Azerbaijan on this issue, he added.
The diplomat said that Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu during his visit to Baku July 15, and his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov discussed the processes around the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Cavusoglu reiterated that the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is as important for Turkey as for Azerbaijan, said the ambassador.
Turkey will continue to act jointly with Azerbaijan in the peaceful settlement of the conflict within the principles of territorial integrity and inviolability of Azerbaijan’s borders, added Coskun.
As Cavusoglu said, the solution acceptable for Azerbaijan will be acceptable for Turkey as well, said the diplomat.
