  • BAKU: Ross Wilson: "Conclusion Of The Long Running Talks On Karabakh

    ROSS WILSON: "CONCLUSION OF THE LONG RUNNING TALKS ON KARABAKH IS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL PIECE WHICH NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND ARMENIA CAN REINFORCE" - EXCLUSIVE

    Washington. Zaur Hasanov - APA. "Conclusion of these long running talks
    that Minsk group co-chairs have been trying to lead for many years on
    Karabakh is another essential piece which negotiations between Turkey
    and Armenia can reinforce," Ross Wilson, former U.S. ambassador to
    Azerbaijan and Turkey told APA's US bureau.

    To the question "Turkey claims to consider the interest of Azerbaijan
    in the negotiations with Armenia on the border issue. Is there anything
    that Turkey can offer to Azerbaijan which will cover the damage of
    the border reopening?" Ross Wilson said: "I think what is critical in
    that complicated part of the world that try to put together some of
    the building blocks that produce peace. Peace for the relationship
    between Turkey and Armenia, resolution perhaps between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, be able to reach to move
    forward. I think what Turkey and Armenia are doing can be part of
    that. I don't think that I can advice the Azerbaijani leadership and
    Azerbaijani people," he said.

    The diplomat said there is no military solution in the Caucasus or
    anywhere else. "Conflict is a dead end. And the solution for the
    conflict is from dialog and peaceful cooperation. That's why Turkey
    is on the right path," he said.

    The former ambassador said he had no information that the borders
    between Armenia and Turkey will be reopened in April.

    Ross Wilson was U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan in 2000-2003, and to
    Turkey in 2005-2008.
