Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Friday that they
considered Caucasus would reach peace soon, and everyone should
fulfill his/her task not to miss the opportunity.

Davutoglu and his Azeri counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov held a joint
press conference in Ankara.

Davutoglu said Turkish State Minister Zafer Caglayan would pay a
formal visit to Azerbaijan soon with a crowded delegation.

"We fully support the steps which have been taken for a solution to
Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict," he said.

"We think that normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations as well
as Turkish-Armenian relations will constitute an important ground for
regional prosperity and stability," Davutoglu said.

In regard to Caucasus, Davutoglu said, "we think that peace will be
secured in Caucasus soon. Everyone should do what is required for
solution of problems." There is a full cooperation between Turkey and
Azerbaijan regarding the matter, he said.

Davutoglu said Mammadyarov and he discussed regional matters,
developments in Afghanistan and energy projects in their meeting, and
the two parties confirmed once again that Turkey and Azerbaijan would
work together in energy projects in Eurasia.
