Yerevan (Yerkir) – Turkish President Abdullah Gul stated that
Armenian-Turkish relations’ normalization will reflect Karabakh
conflict settlement, Turkish TRT website reported.

Gul underlined that Armenia-Turkey reconciliation would normalize the
situation in the Caucasus. "Armenia-Turkey Protocols will provide
stability in the region. If Armenia-Azerbaijan relations are not
resumed, there will be no peace in the Caucasus. Armenia-Turkey
relations will definitely affect the Karabakh peace process. The
Caucasus and Balkans are of immense significance for Turkey and I have
already discussed the issue in the course of the phone conversation
with the U.S. President Barack Obama," Gul said.
