On May 2 Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu participated in
a conference held in Oxford entitled ‘Turkish Foreign Policy in the
Changing World.’ He highlighted that his country wants to normalise
relations with Armenia as it is sure that this will facilitate peace
in the Caucasus. However achieving this much depends on resolving
the problems between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Opening the border between Turkey and Armenia is not enough, as the
border between Azerbaijan and Armenia should also be opened, stated
Davutoglu, highlighting that resolving this conflict is one of the
necessary preconditions for establishing stability in the South
Caucasus region.
