Turkish President: The occupation of Azerbaijani territories may lead to unexpected problems

The occupation of Azerbaijani territories may lead to unexpected problems, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said at a joint press conference with Doris Leuthard, President of Swiss Confederation, in Bern on Thursday, Anadolu agency reported.

"There are some problems between Azerbaijan and Armenia as well as between Turkey and Armenia. A part of territories of Azerbaijan is under occupation. Many people have become refugees. If this matter is not resolved, some unexpected problems may appear. Everyone should work for solution of the problem", Gul said, replying to a question on Turkish-Armenian relations.

According to Gul, Turkey attaches great importance to friendly relations with all countries in the region and intends to continue to move toward normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia.

"We will continue to take necessary steps to achieve lasting peace in the Caucasus. The current situation in Caucasus is not to the interests of Eurasia, Europe and Asia. Because these problems are like a wall between Europe and Asia. If these problems are removed, there will be more cooperation in several areas", Gul said.
