Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia-Azerbaijan relations and Armenia-Turkey relations will be discussed at Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s meetings with Turkish leaders, Vice-Chairman of the Yeni Azerbaijan (New Azerbaijan) Party Ali Ahmedov told the Day.Az agency, speaking of Medvedev’s impending visit to Ankara.
According to him, the Turkish authorities will adhere to the pursued policy, and Armenia-Turkey rapprochement is possible only if the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict is settled.
“I think official Ankara will follow this same principle at the meetings with the Russian President. Turkey is a developed state both in economical and in other aspects, and it is capable of active involvement in the ongoing processes in the South Caucasus and Middle East. I do not think a third country can exert pressure on Turkey and make it change its policy,” Ahmedov said.
Before visiting Turkey, RF President Dmitry Medvedev had his article, “Russia and Turkey to continue relationships beyond goals”, published by the Turkish Zaman daily. According to him, Russia and Turkey will establish a High-Level Cooperation Council, a fundamentally new intergovernmental cooperation mechanism.
