Turkey’s Prime Minister Receb Tayyip Erdogan said the normalization of
Ankara-Yerevan relations is related with solving the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict while estimating the results of Russian ambassador’s activity,
Turkish CNN Turk news portal reported.

Erdogan also said that although people often say about lack of
connection between Ankara-Yerevan relations and the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, tension in Turkish-Armenian relations with further closing
of the borders occurred after occupation of Azerbaijani territories.

Erdogan said that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be solved and
Azerbaijan’s occupied territories must be liberated soon.
