Turkey’s preconditions

Politics


Turkey will propose four preconditions for Armenia, including resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

As reported by "Bakililar.AZ", the preconditions must be discussed during the meeting of the Turkish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister with high-ranking figures from the U.S., Russia and France.

The first and main precondition is to ensure progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict; in other words, the return of liberated territories to Azerbaijan.

The second requirement is the creation of a commission of historians to study the events that took place in the beginning of the past century. The commission must include Armenian, Turk, Swiss and American historians.

The other two issues regard RA President Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Turkey- the Turkish-Armenian protocols must be signed before October 12 and the Armenian President must visit Turkey. Only after the implementation of these preconditions will Turkey come close to even opening the borders.

This is what Prime Minister Rejeb Tayyib Erdogan was reported to say, according to "Bakililar.AZ".

Let us remind that the general debate will start tomorrow during the session of the 64th UN General Assembly that kicked off on September 15.

Among those to speak tomorrow are Presidents of Azerbaijan and Iran, Ilham Aliev and Mahmud Ahmadinejad.

Georgian President Mikheil Sahakashvili will speak on September 24, while Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan's speech, according to the UN press release, is scheduled for September 28, which is the last day of the general debate.
