football match in Baku. As I have once said, authorities change, but
peoples live forever. Some try to make provocation between Turkey and
Azerbaijan. These forces are worse than Armenians. I felt injured,
when I saw that Azerbaijan’s flag was humiliated in Turkey. One could
take and put it somewhere else," he said.

towards Turkey.
"In 2003, the opposition declared Turkey its enemy, as the latter
did not give support to Isa Gambar. Now it has changed. I advise
the opposition to be with the people, authorities under the present
circumstances. Turkish opposition is more active than our opposition
concerning this issue," she said.
