"Turkish Prime Minister put the Nagorno-Karabakh problem on agenda
of his meeting with the U.S. president and said the protocols signed
with Armenia wouldn’t be approved if there was no progress towards
liberating these occupied lands", Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan
Hulusi Kilic said.

He said that Turkey was waiting for progress in liberation of the
occupied lands.

"We will not accelerate the process of ratification, if the lands
are not liberated. This is very important issue for whole Caucasus".

The ambassador said there already were other closed borders in the
region before the Turkish-Armenian borders were closed.

"The borders closed first should be opened in the Caucasus. There is a
need to solve this problem because Karabakh is very important issue,"
he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
