Normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations should depend on
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Deputy Foreign
Minister of Azerbaijan Mahmoud Mammadguliyev said at a press conference
after the meeting of BSEC Ministerial Council in Yerevan Thursday.

He said the contacts and negotiations between Armenia and Turkey are
the business of these two states and Azerbaijan does not interfere into
internal affairs of other states. ‘However, given the conflict between
Azerbaijan and Armenia, we attentively follow the developments. Our
stand is that restoration of Turkish- Armenian relation should depend
on settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict’, he said.
