YEREVAN.- Turkish FM’s statement made in UN once again reveals
Ankara’s aspiration to be engaged in the Karabakh peace process,
expert in Turkic studies Ruben Melkonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He commented on the remark of Ahmet Davutoglu made during his speech
at the UN General Assembly. Addressing the delegates, Turkish FM said
Ankara `underlines the need for a solution to Nagorno-Karabakh in
accordance with the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, yet there has
been no single step towards resolution of this problem for the last
two decade.’

`Turkey’s statement underscored biased approach and open support to
Azerbaijan,’ Melkonyan added.

The statement was also aimed to shadow the wave of discontent with
recent Azerbaijan-Hungary deal.

`The remark contains a hint – Safarov’s transfer and pardon is
Azerbaijan’s act of protest against lack of moves toward resolution of
the Karabakh conflict for last two decades,’ he noted.
