ANKARA (A.A) – 18.05.2009 – Turkish officials stressed the importance
Turkey attaches to the Minsk process during talks held with Bernard
Fassier, co-president of the Minsk Group of the Organization for the
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), in Ankara on Monday while
Fassier presented information on the developments that took place
recently on Upper Karabakh.
Fassier met on Monday with the Undersecretary of Turkish Ministry
of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan as part of efforts
to find a peaceful solution to Upper Karabakh, a territory under
Armenian occupation.
Bernard Fassier visited Armenia and Azerbaijan before coming to
Ankara. He had argued that the issues of the normalization of
Turkish-Armenian relations and Armenian-Azerbaijani problems are
separate ones.
"These issues are different but are parallel processes," Fassier
noted.
