/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey has intensified diplomatic activities for
resolution of the Karabakh problem, a Turkish newspaper said.

`Although Nagorno Karabakh is not mentioned in the protocols, this
issue is the only barrier for normalization of relations between
Armenia and Turkey,’ Hurriyet daily quoted a diplomatic source as
saying.

According to the source, talks are held on deployment of peacekeeping
forces and status of Nagorno Karabakh. `These issues will be discussed
during a meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and
his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian on the sidelines of OSCE
summit in Athens. Mr. Davutoglu is also scheduled to meet with
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Ankara in
mid-December,’ the source said.

Speaking to PanARMENIAN.Net on condition of anonymity, an Armenian
diplomat said that Turkey once again tries to pass the desirable for
reality. `Armenia never held and will never hold talks on Karabakh
with Ankara,’ he said.
