from Turkish border, Armenians must take it into account in Karabakh
talks’

`If military operations start, Azeri Turks living in Turkey will
totally support their homeland’
Baku. Ramil Mammadli – APA. `No Azeri Turk can keep head up, unless
Karabakh is liberated from occupation. The main issue is to liberate
the occupied territories and return the refugees to their homes. Other
issues will be solved through negotiations’, the leader of Turkey’s
Jafari community Selahattin Ozgunduz told APA.
He noted that the struggle in this direction should be sustainable and
effective, it must cover all spheres: `I say it in all my speeches. On
the last day of Ashura in Istanbul I declared that we expect peaceful
solution to the Karabakh problem. But if there is no place for hope,
if military operations start, Azeri Turks living in Turkey will
totally support their homeland – Azerbaijan’.
He expressed that besides Azerbaijan-born persons, there are millions
of Anadolu Turks in Turkey, who love Azerbaijan: `Armenian capital is
located 40 km far from Turkish border. Armenians must take it into
account and estimate peace negotiations. And first of all, they must
not forget that Armenia is surrounded by millions of Turks. It would
be better if they are committed to Turks, as it was formerly. It is
for their sake’.
Selahattin Ozgunduz added that Azerbaijanis living in Turkey also give
priority to peace: `But to proud peace. I have 3 sons. I am ready to
send all three to the war for the sake of Azerbaijan. If only our
pride isn’t trampled down’.
