Turkey and Azerbaijan should conclude security agreement

02 March 2007 [22:35] - TODAY.AZ
"Armenia's aggressive actions should be always brought to discussion. France and members of the European Union support Armenia. It does not seem real that Armenia will release the occupied Azerbaijani territories, we can even say that Armenia can deepen its aggressive policy," Gemze Kona, professor of Turkish Military Academy, stated.

Gemze Kona, the author of the books on regional security in Turkish and English said that "great states" do not condemn Armenia's aggressive policy.

"Armenia can maneuver in broad sphere. Alongside with OSCE Minsk Group, Turkey should strengthen the intergovernmental relations and support Azerbaijan. It does not seem convincing that several states will impose sanction on Armenia. Turkey should strengthen pressure on Armenia and simultaneously help Azerbaijan," she said.

Genze Kona said that Turkey and Azerbaijan should conclude security agreements.

"Armenia and Russia signed treaty on military cooperation 4-5 years ago. Such a treaty was signed between Greece and the southern part of Cyprus. "Caucasus security treaty" was brought to discussion in the reign of Suleyman Demirel and five times underwent changes. This treaty was not signed, as Armenia and Russia did not want it. These countries avoid Turkey's and Azerbaijan's resistance. I consider that Turkey and Azerbaijan should immediately conclude security agreement. Turkey should stand for ensuring Azerbaijan's security. As Azerbaijan has oil, great states will try to protect their interests in your country. The name of the treaty to be signed between Azerbaijan and Turkey is not so important, its' signing is very important. Why have Armenia and Russia signed such an agreement but Turkey and Azerbaijan have not concluded it yet? Azerbaijan's security is important for the security of Turkey, Middle East and Caucasus," she said.
