Moscow and Ankara are in a constant contact on the Karabakh conflict.

According to Zaman, Moscow and Ankara are in a constant contact on the Karabakh conflict. It is also noted that Russian FM Lavrov’s visit to Armenia those days is not by accident. It will be aimed at discussing the Armenian-Turkish protocols signed in Zurich in October 2009. Upon return to Moscow Sergey Lavrov will hold negotiations with the Turkish delegation and share the results of his visit to Yerevan with his Turkish counterparts.
“It is not ruled out that in the result Armenia will release 5 of the 7 occupied regions of Azerbaijan and Turkey will open borders with Armenia in 2010. Russia and Turkey are working at this issue”, the newspaper says adding that Abdullah Gul has recently said “Ankara and Moscow are holding calm but active diplomacy”.
Zaman is close to the ruling circles of Turkey.
