Azerbaijani MP: Much to be expected from Turkish prime minister's visit to USA

"Meetings held in the United States at a summit on nuclear security by the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan could have an interesting result. This result will firstly be reflected in the statements by Erdogan and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during their meeting. It is possible to think that the result of his meeting with the U.S. President Barack Obama would affect the future activities of the OSCE Minsk Group," a member of the Political Council of New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), MP Aydin Mirzazade said.

Today Erdogan started visiting the U.S. According to MP, Azerbaijan, with few exceptions, agrees with the updated Madrid principles of the Minsk Group.

Armenia refuses the principles, which were agreed earlier. That position puts it into a hopeless situation. Armenia should abandon its position and respect the international legal norms. It seems to me that after the meetings in the U.S., to some extent, we will witness a change," said the MP.

The root of many of today's global challenges comes from separatism. Azerbaijan is one of the countries suffering from separatism, and Turkey is doing its best to prevent it, said Mirzazade.

"It is commendable that Turkey at a high level protects the interests of Azerbaijan. The recent statements once again proved that Ankara's position has not changed," said the MP.
