`We are obliged to find the ways of solution to Karabakh problem, we
have no other way out. Normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations
should help resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,’ Russian ambassador
to Turkey Vladimir Ivanovski said in his interview with the Turkish
Aksam newspaper.

The ambassador said those who say `It is not right to sign the
protocols, ratify them in the parliament unless Nagorno-Karabakh
problem is solved’ are mistaken. "It is wrong to connect the border
issue and Nagorno-Karabakh problem."

`Normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations does not worry Russia, we
have always supported it. The expansion of the economic relations
among Turkey, Armenia and Russia is very important,’ Ivanovski said.

Russian ambassador also spoke about his country’s relations with Azerbaijan.
