Armenia’s airport move is not friendly, says Turkish FM
BAKU – Anatolia News Agency
Armenia’s move to resume flights to Khojaly Airport in the disputed
Nagorno-Karabakh region will damage the solution process with
Azerbaijan, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet DavutoÄ?lu said today at a
press conference in Baku.
`If the airport is opened, this will damage the solution process,’
DavutoÄ?lu said, adding that everyone should focus on a solution to the
issue.
Armenia’s step was not friendly, DavutoÄ?lu said, adding that Turkey
had been in solidarity with Azerbaijan on the question of the airport
as well as other issues.
Turkey was ready to do everything to establish peace and stability in
the south Caucasus, the foreign minister said.
`Everyone should respect all countries’ borders to maintain peace,’
DavutoÄ?lu was quoted as saying.
Turkey wants the problem of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity to be
solved, DavutoÄ?lu said.
