, Hurriyet daily reported.
Gul had a meeting with Safar Abiyev at the Presidential Palace in the Turkish capital of Ankara, however no official announcement was issued following the meeting.
Azerbaijan said earlier that Turkey and Armenia risk raising tensions in the region if they go ahead with their plans to normalize relations before the dispute over the Armenian occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region inside Azerbaijan is solved.
Azerbaijan urged its close ally Turkey to link reconciliation efforts with Armenia to the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the disputed region.
Turkey and Armenia announced late Wednesday that they had agreed on a framework for normalizing relations, the first of its kind since Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 in a show of solidarity with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The two neighboring countries were not having diplomatic relations since then.
Turkey however says the accord would help Azerbaijan to lead a solution regarding the region occupied by Armenians.
