Azerbaijan, Turkey remain faithful to one nation – two states
principle – official

BAKU Oct 22

Baku and Ankara will continue to act in concert and to jointly resolve
whatever problems will arise, Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov
said.

"Azerbaijan and Turkey remain faithful to the one nation – two states
principle, and we will be relying on this principle," Mammadyarov said
at a joint briefing with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu in
Baku on Thursday.

At their bilateral meeting Davutoglu reassured him that the Turkish
authorities want to investigate the incident over the irrespective
behavior towards the Azeri flag during the football match between the
Turkish and Armenian national teams in Bursa, Turkey, on October 14,
and to punish the perpetrators, Mammedyarov said.

The images showing an Azeri flag thrown into a box lying on the ground
outside the stadium which hosted the match between Turkey and Armenia,
"outraged not only the Azeri, but also Turkish people," Davutoglu
said. "This is a flag of independence of not only Azerbaijan but also
Turkey. This is our common patrimony," the minister said.
