for fight"

"I am obliged to note that Minsk group is one of the most incompetent
organizations in international mediating. Surely, it is not easy to
solve the problem between Armenia and Azerbaijan. But it is not
chaotic.

"Because Azerbaijani lands underwent invasion by another country.
Armenians invaded Turkish land Karabakh with the support of other
countries. The problem is immediate and unconditional liberation of
the lands. The position of the Minsk Group is nothing but compromise
the invader," the head of OSCE Group of Turkish Parliament, one of
the leading members of Justice and Development Party Professor Nevzat
Yalchintash told the APA.

"If you do not want your lands to be occupied and wish peace, be
ready for fight. Azerbaijan should be ready to protect its lands. All
necessary steps should be taken. Of course Azerbaijan can prefer
peaceful solution to the conflict. You know that I was first
vice-president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. I am the head of
OSCE Group in the Turkish parliament. OSCE is the second great
organization after the UN and its main aim is to solve the conflicts
peacefully. But if the problem is not solved peacefully, Azerbaijan
should be ready for everything," he said.

Taking a stance on not signing security agreement between Azerbaijan
and Turkey, Yalchintash said he does not know the reason but it
should be signed. He also added that this agreement exists in the
hearts.

"It is in our blood and heart. Turkey can not hesitate in the
protection of Azerbaijan. Turkey intervened in Cyprus with army.
Those who want to see this example in Azerbaijan should visit
Shamakhi. They will see the graves of their Turkish brothers there.
When Ottoman Empire collapsed we went to help Azerbaijan, we see no
difference between Anadolu and Azerbaijan. This sign is on the graves
of martyrs in Shamakhi," he said.
