Nabucco project is not linked with reconciliation: Turkish FM
15:41 / 11/28/2009Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu said that Nabucco project
is not linked with Armenia-Turkey reconciliation, Turkish gercekgun

Asked by Turkish parliamentarian Janan Aritman known for her scandal
behavior about the linkage between Nabucco project and Armenia-Turkey
rapprochement, Davutoglu replied that Turkey initiated reconciliation,
however the process is still underway due to various reasons.
`August 2008 war in Northern Caucasus once again proved that situation
in the region is quite unsafe for security, stability and cooperation.
We set forth Caucasus Stability and Cooperation Platform and called
all conflicting parties, including Armenia to join it. We entered into
dialogue with Armenia, which accelerated in course of time.
Armenia-Turkey Protocols do not damage Azerbaijani interests.
Azerbaijani territorial integrity is as saint for us as the one of our
state. The Protocols contribute to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement and
will open the gate to Azerbaijani territorial integrity. The Protocols
were introduced to the Parliament and it is its prerogative when to
ratify them,' Davutoglu stated.
Asked whether Nabucco project will be suspended with Armenia-Turkey
border opening, Davutoglu noted that Nabucco is in no way conditioned
by reconciliation.
