BAKU. Dec 1 (Interfax) – The normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations will help improve Azeri-Armenian relations and to speed up
the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkish Foreign Minister
Ali Babacan said on Monday.

"The improvement of Armenian-Turkish relations will have a positive
influence on the talks on Nagorno-Karabakh settlement," Babacan told
a briefing after talks with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov,
commenting on a possibility to open the Armenian- Turkish border.

The Turkish FM noted that there are problems in the region, which
need to be resolved through dialog. He also stressed the importance of
implementing the Turkey-sponsored Caucasus Stability and Cooperation
Platform.

"There are problems in the region, and efforts are being made to
resolve them. The countries of the region should sit at one table. We
should seek the normalization of relations through dialog, so that
these problems are not left to other generations. There is diplomatic
activity now, and results are needed," Babacan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
