Arminfo. It is very much important for Azerbaijan to occupy
constructive position in the matter of normalization of relations
between Turkey and Armenia, member of the European Parliament Frank
Angel.

He also added that Azerbaidjan would have to recognise that it
is actually hampering Turkish EU accession prospects by insisting
that the Karabagh issue has to be part and parcel of any possible
normalisation of relations between Turkey and Armenia. Of course,
Turkish and Azerbaidjani interests overlap in a very significant way,
but then again, Turkey is now compelled to make a move on its own
that Azerbaijan will not be in agreement with, he said.
