Special delegate of the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
and Turkish Foreign Minister Deputy Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu
will arrive today in Baku with an alleged letter to hand over to the
Azerbaijani President Ilhan Aliyev.
Earlier he passed another letter to the Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan asking for a meeting with Erdogan in Washington in the
framework of a World Nuclear Security Summit to take place next week.
Turkish local daily Radikal media has elaborated on some details of
the meetings Sinirlioglu will hold while in Baku and also on Erdogan’s
alleged letter to Aliyev.
According to the newspaper in Baku Sinirlioglu will meet with the
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov. As for the letter,
it reads in part: "We have not forgotten about you. In this process
[Armenian-Turkish rapprochement] we do not ignore Baku at all. Baku’s
concerns are our concerns. Azerbaijan, in fact, is aware of how
much we want the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to be resolved. But we do
guarantee that the acceleration of the process does not mean at all
that we will neglect your concerns."
The letter also mentions that the normalization with Armenia will
contribute to the establishment of peace, security and stability in
the Caucasus.
