Turkey hopes for a dialog with Armenia, Turkish Foreign Minister said.
“A new era of Armenian-Turkish relations has come. However, we still have unsettled problems such the 1915 events and Karabakh. We don’t have diplomatic relations either,” Ali Babacan said, NTV-turk reports.
“We discussed the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations during a meeting with RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and we have an impression that Armenia has a firm intention to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,” he said.
Earlier, Turkish President Abdullah Gul announced his intention to mediate tensions between the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents. “The OSCE Minsk Group failed to produce effect during 17 years of its mediation. Turkey-Armenia and Azerbaijan-Armenia issues are not only bilateral but also territorial. The situation in the region has changed. Resolution of conflicts will lead to political and economic stability,” he said.
