Asked whether Turkey, as the new member of the U.N. Security Council,
would pursue its own national policy or U.N. policies if a problem
about the Caucasus and the Nagorno-Karabakh was brought to the Council,
Erdogan said Turkey would contribute to speed up efforts for settlement
of the problem, Turkish Hurriyet reported.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and the President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan met in Moscow earlier this month and signed a declaration
calling for a "peaceful resolution" to their dispute over the province
of Nagorno-Karabakh on the basis of "binding international guarantees",
taking a step further towards resolution of the conflict.
Erdogan told a conference in New York’s Columbia University that
the two leaders made a significant step, and added Turkey is willing
to host the second meeting of Aliyev and Sargsyan. He said solving
the problem could lead to a new step and the start of a new process
regarding the relations between Turkey and Armenia.
