Azerbaijan, Baku, May 2 / Trend I. Huseynov /

Resolution of the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict is needed to ensure
stability in the region, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said, speaking at the conference "Turkey’s foreign policy in a
changing world" at Oxford today, Anadolu reported.

Speaking on normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations, Davutoglu
said Turkey would open its borders with Armenia, as it wants to
integrate with all neighbouring states. "But, just opening of the
Turkey-Armenian border is not enough," he said. "We also want the
Azerbaijani-Armenian border to be opened."

In his speech, Davutoglu also touched the issue on the nuclear
disarmament, situation in the Middle East and Turkey’s geopolitical
position in the modern world.
