Official Ankara is for the speediest settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, and it will not allow any disagreements between Azerbaijan
and Turkey, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told a press
briefing following his meeting with his Azerbaijan counterpart Elmar
Mammadyarov, reported Trend News.

Ankara wants Armenia and Azerbaijan to improve their relations, seeking
a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the immediate future.

Turkey will never worsen its relations with Azerbaijan, and any
cool-down in the bilateral diplomatic relations is out of the question,
Davutoglu said.

According to him, Turkey seeks peaceful, diplomatic, solutions to
regional problems. In this context the Turkish Foreign Minister pointed
out Turkey is for improving its relations with Armenia. Turkey wants
to have the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict "unfrozen."

On his part, Minister Mammadyarov pointed out high-level bilateral
relations. Turkey regularly informs Azerbaijan of the regional
developments, and the nations hold open discussions of bilateral
relations.

The sides also discussed regional problems, "Armenian occupation of
Azerbaijani territories," as well as bilateral trade and economic
relations. According to the Azeri FM, the "Armenian occupation of
Azerbaijan’s territories" impedes regional development.

"I would like to refute the rumors about ‘a coolness’ between our
nations. We settle all the problems as if in a family circle, and are
going to do so in the future. We settle disagreements as brothers. Our
relations are at a very high level," Mammadyarov said.

Minister Davutoglu shared his Azeri counterpart’s opinion, stating
that the two nations have not nor can they have any problems.
