As it was expected Azerbaijan performs sharply negative reaction to
signed Armenian-Turkish protocols, confirms Russian MK newspaper.

"To normalise ties between Armenia and Turkey ahead of withdrawal of
Armenian armed forces from occupied Azerbaijani territory opposes our
interests and overshadows the spirit of brotherly relations between
Azerbaijan and Turkey," quotes MK statement made by Azerbaijan’s
Foreign Ministry.

In his turn, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who attended
the sighing ceremony in Zurich, welcomed this establishment:

"Russia is ready to support this process especially in sphere of energy
and transport communications. Inter UES Company participates in supply
of electricity from Armenia to Turkey. Russia’s Railways is ready
to provide transit between the two countries through border-crossing
Dogukapi-Ahuryan," quotes MK.

Recall that late on October 10 Armenian and Turkish foreign
ministers set to sign protocols in Zurich to normalise ties and seek
reconciliation.
