    Turkish ex-premier: cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkey
    guarantees peace in region


    Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 27 /Trend M. Aliyev/

    The pendency of Armenian Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh conflict is
    completely linked with Armenia's position, but time works against
    Armenia, Turkish ex premier Mesut Yilmaz told journalists on Thursday.

    "Yerevan can't further hold this position, it will lead to loss", Yilmaz said.
    He also noted that cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkey
    guarantees peace and prosperity in the region, settlement of
    international problems.

    "Unity of our efforts will provide peace in the region", Yilmaz said,
    adding that military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkey is
    currently at high level.

    Ex premier noted that Armenia's policy in recent past caused
    deterioration of relations between Baku and Ankara, but "we managed to
    overcome it".

    He said realization of joint projects such as Baku Tbilisi Kars
    railway road will take relations between countries to even higher
    level.

    In Yilmaz's words, since his last arrival to Baku in 1998 the city has
    dramatically changed.
    "I congratulate Azerbaijani nation in this regard. Turkey is proud
    with today's Azerbaijan", ex premier added.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. - are
    currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
