Baku. Lachin Sultanova – APA. Azerbaijan is satisfied with the
position of Turkey, said Chief of the Public Policy Department of
the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan Ali Hasanov, APA reports.

"Turkey is a strategic partner to Azerbaijan. We have diplomatic,
political, social and cultural relations with Turkey on the basis of
principle of "one nation, two states" and we don’t intend to break
these relations, which have no analogue, under the dictation of
any one".

Hasanov reminded about the statements made by Turkish Prime Minister
Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu during their Washington
meetings. "They stated that Turkey and Armenia can not establish normal
political and economic relations without solution to Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, without normal diplomatic progress in the Armenia-Azerbaijan
frontline and without withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied
lands. We are satisfied with this position. We consider that Turkey,
as a friendly country, will protect this position".
