Turkey’s PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan referred to the Armenian-Turkish ties
during his speech on Turkish NTV, according to Haberiniz. Erdogan said,
they are committed to their signature.
"At the same time, however, the protocols include a phrase: "to
establish peace in the region." Now from the viewpoint of the regional
peace, there is a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We need to
ensure the reconciliation since it’s due to this conflict the borders
were closed," Erdogan said.
When asked whether the Nagorno-Karabakh is still a precondition
for Turkey, Erdogan said: "It’s not a precondition for us. It’s
Azerbaijan’s condition. We have nothing to do with it directly. We
are involved in the process indirectly."
