  • BAKU: Turkey to bring together Azeri, Armenian officials

    TURKEY TO BRING TOGETHER AZERI, ARMENIAN OFFICIALS


    A trilateral meeting of Azerbaijani, Armenian and Turkish officials is
    planned soon to discuss the Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno)
    Garabagh conflict, Turkish Ambassador in Baku, Hulusi Kilic, has
    said. Commenting on Armenian President Serzh Sarkisians recent
    statement regarding the possibility of opening the Turkey-Armenia
    border, Kilic reiterated that this was out of the question until
    Armenia withdraws its armed forces from the occupied territories of
    Azerbaijan. Turkey closed its border with Armenia on April 4,
    1993. The sole reason for this was this countrys coveting brotherly
    Azerbaijans land, the ambassador said. Armenia has been occupying over
    20% of Azerbaijani territory since the early 1990s in defiance of
    international law. The Turkish ambassador said earlier that upon
    election to the UN Security Council, Ankara would demand enforcement
    of the four UN resolutions calling for unconditional withdrawal of the
    Armenian forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. Turkey was
    elected an associate member of the UN SC on October 17, gaining votes
    cast by 80 out of 100 countries.
