Turkish PM: Liberation of Azerbaijani territories from occupation vitally important to us

The liberation of the Azerbaijani territories from occupation is of vital importance to us, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, while addressing students of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.

Erdogan said Ankara attaches significant importance to establishing durable peace in the South Caucasus region.

The Turkish Prime Minister pointed out the OSCE Minsk Group has great responsibility in settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and as a co-chair of the Group, Russia has significant role in the process.

“The talks have been continuing for 20 years, but the problem has not been resolved,” underlined Erdogan.

On normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relationship, the Premier noted his country has taken steps towards it, adding signing protocols with Yerevan is an indicator of it.

Erdogan pointed out if there is a just decision on the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, the process of normalization between Turkey and Armenia will continue.
