Turkey's goal is to reach peace in Nagorno-Karabakh problem as soon as possible, Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations Ertugrul Apakan said.
Speaking about the recent developments in South Caucasus which also involves Turkey, the Turkish diplomat said the ongoing processes lay additional responsibility on all countries in the region.

"Turkey's responsibility is to play either the role of mediator or to ease the processes of conflict resolution. Armenia's responsibility is to make more steps towards peace in the current situation", Apakan said.

Apakan is confident that Turkey will be able to solve problems between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

He said Turkey seeks to bear responsibility not only in Caucasus, but also other neighborhood regions, including Middle East and Balkans.

"We never had any other intentions. Especially while speaking about Azerbaijan, we never leave our brothers alone on half of the way", he said.

Turkish ambassador again stressed that Turkey looks forwards the soonest resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The countries of the region should make steps towards each other, he said.
