The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has reacted positively to statements by the Turkish PM following his meeting with the Armenian president in the USA.
'Azerbaijan is satisfied that Turkey's position on the resolution of the Karabakh conflict is unchanged. Baku is satisfied with the position of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu,' Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov said, commenting on statements by Erdogan and Davutoglu on the Karabakh conflict settlement.
Hurriyet newspaper said that the Turkish PM told Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during their meeting in Washington yesterday of 'Ankara's support for Azerbaijan's position on the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenians'. He said Turkey would not retreat a single step on Karabakh.
'Erdogan said that he wanted to see definite steps by Armenia to withdraw from occupied Karabakh and that it would not make any concessions on this issue,' Hurriyet reported.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu confirmed in an interview with Azerbaijani news agency APA that the Karabakh conflict was a key issue in Erdogan's talks with Sargsyan.
