Erdogan: Turkey will always support Azerbaijan in Karabakh issue

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Azerbaijan's joy is our joy, Azerbaijan's grief is our grief. Once, historical processes divided Azerbaijan and Turkey and there was a border between us. Now we have good possibilities and we should use them in toto. We are the architects of our future," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Baku.



He said he discussed the issue of 'occupation of Azeri lands with U.S. President George Bush'. "This injustice should not be neglected by the international community. Although Russia, France and the U.S. undertook to resolve the problem, no criticism is heard in the occupant's address. We hear nothing but advice… Turkey has always supported and will support Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh issue," Erdogan said.
