    Ali Babacan: Turkey to do everything in its power to normalize
    situation in the region
    01.11.2008 16:08 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey's Foreign Minister Ali Babacan voiced
    optimism that long-running disputes between Turkey and Armenia, and
    Armenia and Azerbaijan can be resolved and that Turkey is determined
    to push forward in the interests of regional peace.

    "These two tracks could move fast because there is good political
    will," Babacan said at a meeting of the World Economic Forum in
    Istanbul.

    "Imagine a region in which you have totally new relations between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Armenia and Turkey. The consequences for
    trade, for communications, for transport, for energy and the
    opportunities are huge, so we will do our best to normalize the
    situation as soon as possible," Babacan said.

    Babacan said Friday that the recent events in Georgia increased the
    incentive and need for regional cooperation and said that Turkey was
    ready to use its perceived position as a "balancing power" to
    contribute to peace and stability, ANS Turkish TV channel reported.
