Turkey intensifies activities for Karabakh problem resolution

November 21, 2009 - 15:54 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey has intensified diplomatic activities for resolution of the Karabakh problem, a Turkish newspaper said.



"Although Nagorno Karabakh is not mentioned in the protocols, this issue is the only barrier for normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey," Hurriyet daily quoted a diplomatic source as saying.



According to the source, talks are held on deployment of peacekeeping forces and status of Nagorno Karabakh. "These issues will be discussed during a meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian on the sidelines of OSCE summit in Athens. Mr. Davutoglu is also scheduled to meet with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Ankara in mid-December," the source said.



Speaking to PanARMENIAN.Net on condition of anonymity, an Armenian diplomat said that Turkey once again tries to pass the desirable for reality. "Armenia never held and will never hold talks on Karabakh with Ankara," he said.
