“Armenia’s occupation in Azerbasijani lands is against international norms. We do not make any step that conflicts Azerbaijan’s interests.”
Turkey’s foreign policy of zero problems with neighbouring countries is being continued with decisive steps. Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stated that it is the day for showing “political will” and he commented on Turkey’s foreign policy.
Replying the criticisms claiming that Turkey’s policy towards normalizing its relations with Armenia will damage Turkey’s fraternal relationship with Azerbaijan, Davutoglu said, “Nobody can expect Turkey to make steps that would conflict interests of Azerbaijan.”
Davutoglu said that process will be successful if all parties unite their energies. He said, “Azerbaijan is one of the priorities of Turkish foreign policy and nobody can expect Turkey to make steps that would conflict interests of Azerbaijan. Such thing cannot be even discussed. Armenia’s occupation in Azerbasijani lands is against international norms.”
Commenting about the issue of visit of Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan to Turkey to watch the soccer game between the national teams of two countries, Davutoglu said, “The process will go on if Sarksyan does not come to Turkey but his visit is important about some psychological thresholds.”
Stating that the current status que is not towards the interests of any party, Davutoglu said, “Azerbaijani lands are under occupation and Turkey’s Armenia border is closed. And there is ethnical tension in Georgia. Parties should produce vision.”
