Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu yesterday held a joint pres conference
with his Azeri counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku. "Azerbaijan’s
stability, well-being, future and territorial integrity are very
important for Turkey," said Davutoglu, adding, "Azerbaijan’s strength
means Turkey’s strength." He said, "Our message to regional actors,
including Armenia, is very clear. The region must be free of
occupations and tensions." Stating that they always express that
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue should be solved as soon as possible,
Davutoglu said Turkey’s view on the issue is clear and that the
problem should be solved within the frame of Azerbiajan’s territorial
integrity. /Milliyet/
