BAKU (Today.az)—Turkey, through normalization of relations with Russia, can start a dialogue with Moscow to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani- Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkish Ambassador to Baku Ismail Alper Coskun said on August 12.
He reminded that Turkey is a member of the OSCE Minsk Group, established to mediate between the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and supports the conflict resolution.
Alper Coskun believes that the resolution of the conflict would benefit not only Azerbaijan, but also Russia and Armenia.
“The settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will promote stability in the region,” said the ambassador.
Stressing that Azerbaijan is an important country for Turkey, Coskun said Turkey, as before, supports Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution.
Historically, the relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey have been brotherly, friendly, and collaborative. Turkey has always been the strategic partner of Azerbaijan, the people of both countries being of Turkic race, sharing similar histories, cultures, religions and traditions.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously said that the OSCE Minsk Group, which includes Turkey, could have worked more effectively for conflict resolution.
