"The time has come to put an end to the Karabakh problem, which hinders the development of the South Caucasus", said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan while speaking to public, according to CNN-Turk.
According to him, the Karabakh conflict is also a problem for Turkey. "We have said this in open to our Russian, American and European partners and called on them to settle this conflict as soon as possible. This problem is a major obstacle in the development of the region", he said.
The Turkish Premier expressed his optimism about the upcoming meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Saint Petersburg.
"My friend and brother Ilham Aliyev is a worthy politician and I think that he is actively defending Azerbaijan’s interests. Everything in this issue depends on constructive stance of Armenia and MG co-chairs, who assumed the mission to resolve this conflict", said Erdogan.
"Turkey and Azerbaijan are brother countries and our interests are united.
Our only problem is the Karabakh conflict, whose solution requires a principled stance of the international community. We want the Co-Chairs to understand their responsibility in solving this problem", said the Prime Minister.
