"It is fundamentally wrong to think that the dialogue between Turkey and Armenia is cut off from Azerbaijan." Cavusoglu
On Tuesday, commenting on the situation in the South Caucasus on TVnet, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced that; "Armenia and Azerbaijan must reach a long-term peace agreement that stipulates mutual respect for the integrity of borders." He says, "after the victory of Azerbaijan, we should focus on ensuring stability in the region." "Armenia has traumas. It occupied the territories of Azerbaijan for 30 years. The war is over. There are not a few people who are not against peace," Cavusoglu said, emphasizing that "Armenia must accept the reality and move towards long-term peace."
"Ankara also shows a sincere approach to the issue of relations with Yerevan. We are aware of the problems in Armenia's approaches and do not seek to create difficulties. However, it is fundamentally wrong to think that the dialogue between Turkey and Armenia is cut off from Azerbaijan. We will not act independently of Azerbaijan. In 2009, some misreadings took place. The presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan are in constant contact. That process is not directed against Baku. This process will be useful for them. "Azerbaijan had only one problem: to return its lands," Cavusoglu said.
