    Moscow, 16 March: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on
    Wednesday [16 March] said Turkey and Russia had engaged in close
    cooperation to solve issues in the Caucasus.

    "We are exerting with Russia joint efforts aimed at the economic
    development of the region. We have also taken a step to launch an
    initiative to bring together Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia and
    Georgia under a Caucasus cooperation council," Erdogan told students
    at the Moscow State Diplomacy Institute where he received an honorary
    doctorate as part of his visit to Russia.

    Erdogan said there were issues between countries in the region,
    such ones between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as between Russia
    and Georgia.

    "And we have some setbacks with Armenia due to our border issues ...

    [Agency ellipsis] And the settlement of the Azerbaijan-Armenia problem
    will also play a key role in the solution of issues between Turkey
    and Armenia. And I hope issues between Russia and Georgia could also
    be settled," Erdogan said.
