press conference.
Ahmet Davutoglu said they had discussed the development of the
bilateral relations and situation in the region, particularly
settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
"We think we are very close to peace in the Caucasus. Everybody should
try not to lose this opportunity. Minsk Group should do its best to
increase the dynamics to solve the conflict. Our policy aims to end
occupations in the region and open the close doors. There is all-round
cooperation and coordination between Azerbaijan and Turkey in all
issues," he said. Elmar Mammadyarov said they had discussed the urgent
issues and problems. "First of all we discussed the most serious

many times. The issue was also discussed in the United States and our
