Turkish Foreign Ministry urges Armenia to abstain from statements that may cause damage to resolution of Nagorno Karabakh problem

17 February 2009 [12:15] - TODAY.AZ
Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan expressed need to abstain from commenting on the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
According to Turkish Cihan news agency, Babacan, commenting on the recent statement of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan that Nagorno Karabakh will never be returned to Azerbaijan, said that such statements hinder the resolution process.

"We attach a special importance to the statements made at the negotiation table if they really want the solution to the problem. We suppose that the sides must abstain from the statements that may cause hard to the negotiations", noted the Minister,

Notably, Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan excluded possibility of any trading around Nagorno Karabakh. During the session of the "Flourishing Armenia" party he said "those who consider that the talks proceed around trades on Karabakh are deeply mistaken. Karabakh is our land, it is invaluable, therefore, it is inadmissible to trade in this issue".

He said the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem has no alternative and it will lead to recognition of the right of the "Karabakh people" for self-determination.
