on Armenian-Azerbaijani issue] is important to us [Azerbaijani
people]. Turkey always sides with Azerbaijan.
The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is the biggest threat for the region.
Twenty percent of our land is under occupation. There are more than 1
million immigrants. The U.N. Security Council approved four articles
regarding the solution of the issue, but Armenia disregards these
verdicts and refuses to withdraw. This issue will be solved under a
legal framework," added Aliyev. Regarding the 1915 Armenian incidents,
Aliyev, said that Azerbaijan always sides with Turkey. Azerbaijan
embassies and diaspora work in cooperation against the Armenian
government's allegations.
On the eve of the 99th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian incidents,
ErdoÄ?an in April extended an olive branch to Armenia by releasing a
historic message related to the 1915 incidents in nine languages
including Turkish, Armenian, English and French. It was the first time
in the Republic of Turkey's history that a leader delivered such a
message. Pointing out significant remarks in his message, ErdoÄ?an
said, "It is a duty of humanity to acknowledge that Armenians remember
the suffering experienced in that period, just like every other
citizen of the Ottoman Empire."
He called for responsibility by saying, "The incidents of World War I
are our shared pain.
To evaluate this painful period of history through a perspective of
just memory is a humane and scholarly responsibility."In April, as a
Turkish political tradition, ErdoÄ?an visited Azerbaijan directly after
the March 30 local elections resulted in a decisive victory for his
Justice and Development Party (AK Party). Meeting in Baku, the leaders
discussed various topics from large joint economic investments to the
Gülen Movement's harmful actions in both countries.
In the meeting, ErdoÄ?an stressed that both governments should take
urgent steps to confront the movement and prevent it from spoiling
cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Aliyev confirmed that the
Azeri government is conducting an investigation into Gülenist
structures in his country.
The bilateral discussion between the two leaders, ErdoÄ?an brought a
file to the table focusing on Gülenists who infiltrated large joint
projects. As sources reported, the leaders agreed to take steps
against those infiltrators who could threaten the crucial and costly
projects. Both leaders acknowledged their confidence in one another
and the importance of close relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
