    PRESIDENT: TURKEY TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO RESOLVE NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Azerbaijan, Gabala, Aug. 16 / Trend. Trend A.Badalova /

    Turkey will make every effort to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said on
    Friday, speaking at the third Summit of the Cooperation Council of
    Turkic-Speaking States in Gabala (Azerbaijan).

    According to him, Turkey has always supported Azerbaijan on this
    issue and will continue to do so in the future.

    "One of the main problems of the Turkic world is the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict. Occupation of 20 per cent of Azerbaijani territory is
    unacceptable. Therefore, the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking
    States supports an early resolution of this conflict," Gul said.

    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.

    The third Summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking-States
    was held in the Azerbaijani city of Gabala on Aug. 16.

    The summit was attended by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev,
    President of Turkey Abdullah Gul, President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek
    Atambayev and Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

    The main topic of discussion was the issue of cooperation in transport
    and simplification of customs procedures.
