President Abdullah Gül said Turkey solves its problems, adding that Turkey has pursued policies of peace in the region.
Gül said following the 11th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev informed the participating leaders on recent developments about Nagorno-Karabakh dispute. All ECO member states attach great importance to stability in the region. Stability and security, he said, are of vital importance for infrastructure investments. Therefore, Gül said occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh should end as soon as possible for the development of the region.
Responding to a question about Iran's nuclear program, Gül said, Turkey has always pursued an active policy about the issue of Iran. “We have always advocated that the issue should be resolved through diplomatic ways,” he said.
"Turkey attaches great importance to stability, cooperation and solidarity in the region. We also attach great importance to normalizing our relations with Armenia to this end. We have already taken some steps. We hope that our countries will resolve the issue and pave the way for tranquility and stability in the region," Turkish president added.
