/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Babacan
said six-sided talks on Nagorno Karabakh conflict with participation
of U.S., Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia will
start soon.
Babacan said all actions taken by Turkey in Caucasus satisfy
Azerbaijani interests. "Turkey is interested in Karabakh
conflict resolution and the world’s attention to this process is
rising. Negotiations will start in several weeks, but dates of
joint discussions on regional issues will be identified once all
six countries – U.S., Russian, Switzerland, Turkey, Azerbaijan and
Armenia – come to agreement on these through diplomatic channels. We
seek normalization of relations not only between Turkey and Armenia,
but between Baku and Yerevan as well," Turkish media cited Babacan
as saying.
Tigran Balayan, head of the Armenian MFA media relations division,
told PanARMENIAN.Net that Armenia got no offer to participate in
talks mentioned by the Turkish Foreign Minister.
