If Armenia fulfills its commitments, the relationship between the two countries will become a global example, said Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, making a speech before the members of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, who will discuss the Turkish-Armenian protocols today, TRT 2 television channel reported.

"Problems in the region should be solved step by step and the Armenia-Turkey protocols will accelerate settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict," Davutoglu said.

"Turkey has always supported Azerbaijan and there is no country in the world that so strongly supports Azerbaijan. The Nagorno-Karabakh dispute has always been a priority for the Turkish government," the minister stated.

Davutoglu said Turkey will do its best to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

There is no stable political environment to solve the frozen conflicts in the Caucasus, Davutoglu stated.

The real situation in the Caucasus is not in favor of anyone, the minister added.

"We want to normalize our relations with Armenia as with other neighboring countries," Davudoglu said.

With ratification of the Turkey-Armenia protocols, the Turkey-Armenia borders will be officially recognized, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.

Under the Turkey-Armenia protocols the state border of the countries will be officially recognized, Davutoglu added.
