Today and yesterday Turkish media have been actively reporting on
the end of tensions in Turkish-Azerbaijani relations. The reason is
that yesterday, at the presence of Turkish parliamentarians in Baku,
Turkish flags were again raised at the memorial to Turkish soldiers.
"What we are witnessing here is that our relations are back on track
on the basis of the principle of one nation two states," saidruling
Justice and Development Party (AK Party) MP Murat Mercan in Baku
yesterday.
According to Turkish news source Today’s Zaman, Mercan once again
assured the people of Azerbaijan that Turkey will not take any steps
which will harm Azerbaijan.
"The Parliament will not approve any decisions that would disturb
the people of Azerbaijan," Mercan said in Baku. "There are several
agreements that have been awaiting ratification in Parliament since
2000," he went on to say, noting that there is no time limit for the
ratification of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
