    Elin Suleymanov Azerbaijan has never opposed the normalization of
    Turkish-Armenian relations, Consul General of Azerbaijan in Los
    Angeles Elin Suleymanov said.

    Azerbaijan has always stood for peace and stability in South Caucasus
    region.

    However, without solving the Karabakh problem the opening of the
    Armenian-Turkish borders could lead to undesirable consequences, and
    I do not even rule out that this would increase the risk of renewed
    war, Consul General of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles Elin Suleymanov told
    Turkish Hurriyet newspaper.

    'Armenians do not call us Azerbaijanis, they say that we are Turks.

    They see our peoples (the Azerbaijani and Turkish people - Ed.) as a
    whole. But we have recently seen some distancing from this position
    in some of the Turkish media. Some forces are keen to spoil relations
    between the two brotherly countries, based on the foundation that is
    reflected in the phrase "one nation - two states".

    For example, recent rumors have reached us that the Azerbaijani
    diaspora has ceased support to the Turkish diaspora in the United
    States. This is not true. These special forces spread such rumors to
    drive a wedge in our relations', said the consul general.

    'Azerbaijan is a pragmatic state. The policy laid by our national
    leader Heydar Aliyev is successfully continued by current President
    Ilham Aliyev. Therefore, all the regional processes are viewed
    pragmatically. If the United States does not want to be interested in
    the processes in our region, it is their problem. However, in such a
    situation the role of Russia is increasing, and we act on the basis
    of such a development of the situation', he said.
