    Turkey's position is important in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    settlement: state top official

    The head of the Azerbaijani presidential administration's department
    believes the position of Turkey as a giant country of the region is
    important in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.

    "We support Turkey's initiatives on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    settlement. Turkey's position is important as a giant country of the
    region," the Head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration
    International Relations Department Novruz Mammadov said in his
    interview with the ruling New Azerbaijan Party's (NAP) Web site on
    July 10.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding
    districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in
    1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the
    U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Mmmadov said other countries also perceive importance of Turkey in the
    region. "Recently, The United States needs Turkey's support more to
    succeed in the Eurasian processes. Therefore, Turkey's initiatives
    concerning the regional conflicts, including the Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem solution must be appreciated," the head of the department
    said.
