Azerbaijan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov has commented on
media reports claiming that Turkey is going to sign a power supply
deal with Armenia, APA reported.
According to him, such media reports further aggravate the concerns
already expressed about Turkey’s intentions.
"As we stated in our previous statements, the flow of funds from
Turkey to Armenia as a result of the opening of shared borders
between Turkey and Armenia, and the subsequent launching of economic
cooperation between the two countries, will help Armenia continue
the occupation of Azerbaijani territories, and further tighten its
position on negotiations between the parties. If these media reports
are true and the Turkish side now intends to purchase electricity from
Armenia, Turkey’s funds and investment in this country will promote
the aggressive policy of Armenia. It is of paramount importance for
the Turkish public to be aware of this ", he underscored. MILAZ
