Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Monday that Turkey
would never change its position on Azerbaijani territories ‘occupied’
by Armenia, reports Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi.

Davutoglu said ‘saving Azerbaijani territories from occupation’
was one of the leading national matters for Turkey.

As reported by Anadolu Ajansi, "Azerbaijani soil is as precious
as Turkish soil," Davutoglu told a joint press conference after
his meeting with Czech Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister
an Kohout.

Asked about his comments related to recently publicized news that
Azerbaijan was removing all Turkish flags in its cities and regions,
Davutoglu said Turkish and Azerbaijani flags were both holy as flags of
"a common nation."

"What we have been told was it was a temporary arrangement, a measure
for restoration work," he said. "We have full confidence in Azerbaijani
people… We will never allow attempts to cause discord between Turkey
and Azerbaijan."
