/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "We hope that our strategic partner Russia, as
co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group will make further efforts to resolve
the Karabakh problem," Turkish foreign minister Ahmed Davudoglu
said. According to him, Vladimir Putin during a meeting with the
prime minister Erdogan and President Gul promised, that Russia will
further strengthen its role in solving this problem.
"We are ready to solve our problems with Armenia, but the Karabakh
problem prevents us from moving forward in this direction, so we hope
that Russia, the United States and France, using their authority will
be able to resolve this problem to finally bring peace and long term
cooperation in the region," Ahmed Davudoglu said.
He also mentioned that the signed energy agreements with Russia will
not prevent the realization of Nabucco.
"Nabucco is a very important project and it will be realized. We hope
to reach consent with Azerbaijan on the gas issue soon, and I think
this agreement will give more confidence to that project," he said,
