ArmInfo-TURAN. The Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) and the
Society to Protect the Rights of Shehids (SPRS) condemned Turkey for
its agreements normalizing relations with Armenia.

"The latest steps for improving relations between Turkey and Armenia
are a betrayal of Azerbaijan’s interests," the document reads.

Turkey "crossed out" all previous statements asserting its intention
not to open its frontiers with Armenia until resolution of the Karabakh
conflict, and dealt a harsh blow on relations with Azerbaijan, the
statement read.

"Karabakh is a victim of Armenian ambitions; this much is clear from
documented references to Nagorno Karabakh in the discussions between
Turkey and Armenia," read the KLO and SPRS statements.

"Before it is too late, the Turkish leadership must retreat from
this traitorous position," the statement read. The two organizations
declared that Azerbaijan must mobilize its forces for an independent
resolution of the Karabakh conflict. "The state and society, power
and opposition, and our people must be of a single mind and be ready
to fight to liberate the occupied territories," the statement reads.
