During the forthcoming visit of Turkish President Abdullah Gul to Azerbaijan the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be one of the main topics on the agenda, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic said, reported by the Azerbaijani news
website Trend.
"This is a common problem in the region, and especially for Turkey. Everyone must understand and accept that Turkey considers the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a national issue," Kilic said, adding that the exact date of Turkish President Gul's visit has not been determined yet.
According to some Turkish media, the visit should take place in August.Despite the fact that Turkey can normalize relations with Armenia, Armenia must be reconciled with Azerbaijan and resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said.
"If Armenia wants peace with one brother [Turkey], it must be reconciled with the other. Turkey seeks to establish regional peace, rather than the normalization of relations between the two countries," Kilic said.
Further he said that instead of putting pressure on Turkey Western countries must deal with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"Instead of calling for Turkey to open the border with Armenia, the Western countries, which are friendly to Azerbaijan, must demonstrate their sincerity to put an end to injustice in the region - the return of Azerbaijani occupied lands and execution of four resolutions of the UN Security Council," Kilic said, adding that if Turkey has kept its border with Armenia closed for 17 years, then this has been a forcible argument.
Turkey shut down its border with Armenia in solidarity to Azerbaijan who had unleashed a war that time and was losing it.
