Azerbaijan’s analyst Fikret Sadikhov in his interview with Day.Az
Agency said Armenia would never surrender lands for the sake of
opening the border [with Turkey].
When asked whether Armenia’s Constitutional Court’s positive decision
on Armenian-Turkish protocols means Armenia may surrender part
of lands in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Fikret Sadikhov said:
"I don’t think so. Frankly, Turkey hasn’t set any conditions."
He pointed all those statements on ‘interests on Azerbaijan’, ‘acts to
surrender lands to Azerbaijan’ and so on by Turkey’s Prime Minister
Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davut oglu were made after the
ceremony of signing the protocols in Zurich. These statements were
made after ‘Turkey faced tensions with Azerbaijan’, he said.
Despite statements by Erdogan in Washington were positive, "these
statements remain by word of mouth only. Armenian-Turkish protocols
have no any word about interests of Azerbaijan," he said.
"If this process and word of mouth statements on interests of
Azerbaijan continue without changes, we will meet the same situation
like in Zurich during the protocols’ signing," said Fikret Sadikhov.
