/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey stands for return of Nagrono Karabakh to
Azerbaijan, Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said in Moscow at
a joint news conference with Sergei Lavrov.

"Our country repeatedly spoke about the necessity to resolve frozen
conflicts in the South Caucasus. We support the UN Resolutions on
the issue and stand for liberation of seized territories," he said,
RIA Novosti reports.

The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is dealt with by the OSCE Minsk Group,
represented by Russia, France and the U.S. Armenia insists in a
package resolution of the conflict while Azerbaijan prefers a stepwise
resolution which supposes return of territories to Azerbaijan, return
of Azeri refugees and only then talks on Karabakh’s status.
