Iran and Armenia during the negotiations in Washington, said Turkish
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at a press conference at the Turkish
embassy in Washington, APA reports quoting Turkey’s haberler.com

"This is our sincere decision. It is important for us to realize the
protocols which were achieved as a result of painstaking work.
Azerbaijan is also important for us. We want long-lasting peace in
the Caucasus. These meetings gave a great impetus to the efforts made
towards protection of peace and stability in the South Caucasus. The
Nuclear Summit made great contribution", said the minister.

against Iran.
"There is still an opportunity for the solution of Iranian problem. I
will visit Iran and we will discuss our negotiations with the United
States with Iranian officials. We don’t support military operations
or sanctions. We are against the nuclear weapons in the region and
entire world. We expressed our position on this issue and we will
continue our diplomatic efforts", said the Turkish minister.
