"Resolution to the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will
certainly be discussed during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s
talks with the Turkish leadership in Turkey," Deputy Chairman of the
New Azerbaijan Party (NAP), member of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis
(Parliament) Ali Ahmadov said.

The MP said he believes the Turkish authorities will be committed to
the policy they have pursued thus far and will not reopen border with
Armenia until Azerbaijan’s occupied lands are liberated.

"I think that Ankara will proceed precisely from this principle at
a meeting with the Russian President. In terms of economy and other
parameters, Turkey is developed nation which is able to get actively
involved in ongoing process in the South Caucasus and Middle East. I
do not think that some third country is able to exert pressure and
force Turkey to change its policy," NAP Deputy Chairman noted.
