"We can never leave Azerbaijan alone in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,"
Turkish Prime Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan told journalists in
Davos at the World Economic Forum, the Turkish MynetHaber News Agency
reported.
Erdogan said he will meet Armenian President Serzh Sarkisyan on
Jan. 29. He stressed the importance of his earlier meeting with
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
Erdogan said his meeting with Aliyev defined the framework for the
meeting with Sarkisyan.
"We always do this and will continue to do so in future," he said.
"It is important for Armenia to understand several issues,"
Erdogan said. He noted that Turkey’s meetings with Armenia are
not only connected with Turkish-Armenian relations, but also the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"If Armenia is sincere, then today’s meeting with Sarkisyan can be
a turning point in our relations," he said.
