Turkey must reckon with Azerbaijan: Turkish opposition leader

"Turkey is obliged to reckon with Azerbaijan," said Baykal.

Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers, Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocol in Zurich on Oct. 10.

Baykal also said that although his party called on the Turkish authorities not to sign the protocol with Armenia, their words were not accepted seriously.

He said this process serves to separate Azerbaijan from Turkey.

"PKK terrorists by surrendering crossed the border with their flags in their hands, but unfortunately, the Azerbaijani flags were not allowed to the Armenia-Turkey football match," said Baykal.

"The government does not have enough power to deal with PKK, but Azerbaijan," he said.

He said the Azerbaijani-Turkish relations are also experiencing a bitter situation. "Show me a country whose brother is in a state of war and killed, but they would shake hands with its enemies," said the leader of the PRR.

Baykal said the Turkish-Azerbaijani brotherly ties should not become a victim of the Turkish government's mistakes.
