Azerbaijan believes resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will
be a priority issue during Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s
talks in the U.S.

"Our expectations are that the U.S. President, as head of one of the
countries represented in the Minsk Group, should make Yerevan to refuse
from its unscrupulous predatory position over the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue and to bring Armenia to the constructive position," Azerbaijani
Presidential Administration Social and Political Department Chief
Ali Hasanov told journalists today.

Erdogan is expected to visit the United States on Apr. 12-13.

According to Hasanov, a truce in the region is linked with the opening
of the Turkish-Armenian border, restoration of diplomatic ties between
the two countries, establishment of normal cooperation in the region,
and, of course, primarily, Armenia’s refusal from the aggressive
position and restoration of all transport and the information highways
in the South Caucasus.

"We believe that this will be a priority on the agenda of the Turkish
official’s meetings in the United States and we hope that a mechanism
of influence over the Armenian President will be defined," he added.
