During a meeting in Brussels the President of the European Commission
Jose Manuel Barroso, and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev
discussed the Turkey-Armenia rapprochement.

"Our position is that we never intervene in the affairs of other
states and the relations between the two sovereign countries. This is
the decision what Turkey and Armenia can make. It’s their choice how
to continue their relations," Ilham Aliyev told a press conference
following the meeting, Azeri Press Agency reported.

"I reiterate that we do not have such a position to create obstacle
for further development of relations between these two countries or
prevent it. I want to mention that we also have a right to form our
policy according to the new realities in the region and we will use
this right, he said.

As for the road map, the Azerbaijani President said "the world,
the region and the people of Azerbaijan have the right to know what
happens. Is Nagorno Karabakh problem left aside of Turkey-Armenia
rapprochement?"
