/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey endorses the format of the OSCE Minsk Group
for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the Turkish Foreign
Minister said.

"The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is a very complicated problem which
should be resolved via talks. Serious steps should be taken and Turkey
is ready to support Azerbaijan," Ali Babacan told a news conference
in Baku.

The Turkish-Armenian relations depend on relations between Turkey
and Azerbaijan, according to him.

"A positive outcome of the intense talks between the Foreign Ministers
of Armenia and Azerbaijan could contribute to the Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation as well. The Karabakh conflict is a problem of the
entire region. We will be always side by side with Azerbaijan, as we
have been since 1918," Babacan said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
