    Relations with fraternal Azerbaijan - a priority in the external policy
    of the country - are always important for Turkey, said Cahan Kalsin,
    deputy from the Turkey's ruling party of Justice and Development and
    member of the Turkish group of OSCE parliamentary assembly.

    According to her, the people of both countries should not doubt it.

    On the roadmap, coordinated by Turkey and Armenia, she said it is
    unclear what the roadmap is.

    "But there is no complete information on it, as the map has not yet
    been made public. This is one of the aspects connected with normalizing
    relations between Turkey and Armenia, starting relations from zero. But
    the resolution of all these issues should be accompanied with the
    resolution of the Karabakh issue.

    The MP also noted that Armenians' demands to exclude Turkey from
    the OSCE MG members will not be useful for both parties. She said
    "this is not a solution that would promote the problem settlement".

    Kalsin said assessing the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group "it is
    good the gates to a dialogue are open between the parties".

    "I believe both parties will benefit from this as they will be able
    to hold talks.

    Asked about the time the border between Turkey and Armenia opens,
    she stressed that the policy, based on negotiations on this issue,
    will continue.

    "I think this will happen after Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia agree
    and come to a single point. But I do not think it will happen so soon
    and this is my personal opinion", concluded the deputy.
