ArmInfo. The head of International Relations Department under
Azerbaijani president Novruz Mammadov is shocked with the article in
the Turkish ‘Bu gun’ newspaper.

As APA reported, Mammadov said: ‘Disinformation about Azerbaijan
published in Turkish newspaper shocked me. It is very sensitive
moment. We expressed our position on the processes of normalization
of Turkish-Armenian relations. But Turkish newspaper ‘Bu gun’ spread
absurd reports’ and added it was impossible to understand reason and
goals of this article.

‘It is not exception that there are some forces in Turkey and
other countries, which try to cool Turkish-Azerbaijani relations and
strategic partnership. I see it in Russia’s Regnum agency. It is clear
that who owns this agency and what goals they follow. Regnum’s odious
owner intends to put the region against Azerbaijan in his articles
and thinks that he serves Russian interests with that. But this person
is mistaken’, – Mammadov said.

Mammadov noted that ‘Bu gun’ newspaper reported that Azerbaijani
president broke his visit to Georgia and return to the country to call
emergency meeting of the parliament when reports about the protocols
between Turkey and Armenia were spread. ‘What does it mean? Who dares
to write this?

They said that Turkey and Armenia signed a protocol and Azerbaijan was
shocked and accused Turkey in betrayal and etc. It is not true. Such
lies negatively impact on the public communities in both Turkey and
Azerbaijan. Today I talked with Turkish ambassador Hulusi Kilic.

The ambassador told me "take no note of it". Azerbaijan and Turkey have
long history of friendship, brotherhood and strategic partnership. It
can not be hurt by any Regnum’s reports. But Turkish media’s reports
hurt me’.

Mammadov said ‘Bu gun’ newspaper reported that Azerbaijani
parliamentarians visited Turkey regarding the last developments. ‘The
visit was planned two months ago. I send a message to Azerbaijani
and Turkish communities not to believe to such lying and slandering
reports’. Turkish newspaper ‘Bu gun’ published an article today that
protocols between Turkey and Armenia shocked Azerbaijan and President
Ilham Aliyev called an emergency meeting of the parliament.
