Raffi Hovannisian: "Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be solved without normal relations with Turkey"

He said that the settlement of the conflict and restoration of relations with Turkey is closely connected with each other.

Turkey and Azerbaijan have very good relations, and from this viewpoint Turkey's influence on the position of Baku is ruled out. I hope relations between Turkey and Armenia will be restored. Blocking Armenia is not to the interests of Turkey, because Turkey wouldn't prefer to go to the European Union with the brief-case carrying problems with neighborhood countries. Turkey cannot be admitted to the EU without solving these problems, he stated, APA reports.
