    Recep Tayyip Erdogan: Turkey can not remain silent and leave
    Azerbaijan alone concerning Nagorno Karabakh problem


    [ 16 May 2009 14:42 ]
    Ankara ` APA. `We had long talks with Azerbaijani President, my
    respectable brother Ilham Aliyev in Baku.

    We told him, stated in the press conference and Azerbaijani parliament
    that there will be no problem casting shadow, damaging our historical
    brotherhood, we see national problem of Azerbaijan as our national
    problem,' Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told journalists
    at the airport before leaving for Russia, APA reports. He said his
    visit to Azerbaijan was very effective. `We demonstrated our
    determination to continue cooperation. There will be forces in the
    country and abroad attempting to stir up discord between the two
    brothers. But we will continue with the same
    determination. Azerbaijan's President also put an end to these
    issues,' he said.

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan underlined that they shared Ilham Aliyev's
    position in ensuring stability in the South Caucasus.
    `I said in the parliament and press conference that the recent reports
    of Azerbaijani media that Turkey will leave Azerbaijan alone are not
    true. Azerbaijani media covered it thoroughly. Turkey will never leave
    Azerbaijan alone. Azerbaijani public saw this during my visit,' he
    said.

    Erdogan also took a stance on Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's
    message `Turkey should not interfere with the solution to Nagorno
    Karabakh problem'. Prime Minister stated that Turkey could not remain
    silent in Nagorno Karabakh problem. `Closure of the borders is
    connected with Nagorno Karabakh problem, is the consequence of the
    military intervention. This is the consequence. We can not open the
    borders, unless the consequence is eliminated,' he said.
    Erdogan did not agree to the views that the solution to Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict was not connected with Turkey-Armenia talks. `This
    is the position of AKP,' he said.
