TURKISH MEDIA REPORT ON RELATIONS WITH AZERBAIJAN

A number of Turkish media today reported on Turkish-Azerbaijani
relations; in particular, the noticeable rupture in relations.

Turkish news source Hurriyet Daily News reports that there’s a
breach in the "one nation, two states" principle which Turkey’s and
Azerbaijan’s former presidents built and developed.

One can speculate that some of the reasons for this are the recently
signed Armenian-Turkish Protocols, as well as the anti-Turkish
sentiment expressed in Azerbaijan recently, which resulted in a policy
to remove all Turkish flags in Azerbaijan’s cities.

As reported by Hurriyet Daily News, because of an improvement in
Armenian-Turkish relations, Azerbaijan might raise the price of
natural gas exported to Turkey.

"No more cheap gas to Turkey," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
was reported as saying.
