/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan and Turkey have good potential of
cooperation, Azeri political scientist Hikmet Hajizadeh said.
"I would not like to enlarge on new fields but everyone knows
that during recent 10 years relations between our states cannot be
characterized as fraternal. Turkish businessmen abandon Azerbaijan. I
was informed that Azeri citizens have almost no possibility to purchase
realty in Turkey. Turkish officers who are training our personnel are
forced to leave Azerbaijan. Conclusion is not comforting: Azerbaijan
and Turkey are not fraternal states any more but partners with common
interests," Hajizadeh said.
When commenting on Turkey’s incursion into Iraq, the Azeri scholar
said, "The scenario is highly possible.
Moreover, Turkey used to carry out such operations in the past. If the
U.S. and Iraqi government fail to curb the PKK, Turkey should resort
to the move and intrude into the territory, which is out of control,"
