Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 2/ Trend , A. Huseynbala /
Discussions between Azerbaijani and Turkish parties on Turkish-Armenian relations have been postponed.
"The dialogue depends on how events develop. If there is even the slightest threat of fundamental principles from Turkey, then we will hold a conference immediately," pro-government Ana Vatan party Chairman and member of parliament Fazail Agamali told Trend .
In late 2008, 6 Azerbaijani opposition parties - Ana Vatan, Popular Front of Unified Azerbaijan, Great Establishment, Adalat, Democratic Reforms Party and Umid - reached an agreement to hold a meeting with Turkish political parties to discuss concern over Turkish-Armenian relations.
Agamali said there is no need to hold a meeting between the two countries yet.
"When there is a need for the meeting, we will contact the Turkish parties and set a date," he said.
Armenian-Turkish ties have been severed since 1993 due to Armenian genocide claims and the country's forces occupying 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul visited Yerevan on Sept. 6, 2008 upon the invitation of Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisyan to watch the Armenia-Turkey football match in the European Cup.
Efforts have been made to normalize ties between the two countries since.
