Armenia would answer the European Court
Continuing, chairman of the TGNA is underlined: “Turkey would continue supporting of Azerbaijan to restore its territorial integrity. Ensuring the rights of Azerbaijan in Nagorno Karabakh is a priority of the Turkey’s foreign policy. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the Caucasus. We call all countries and international organizations to put an end to unjust occupation by Armenia”. “He noted that Serzh Sarkisyan, today’s president of Armenia, participated in the killings of innocent citizens of Azerbaijan and the occupation of the territories of this country, than he admitted.
At the conference, “Relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey in the 20th year of independence”, held in Erzurum, Haluk Ipek, Secretary General of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has declared: “As Secretary General of Turkey’s ruling party I want to say the following. Armenia has violated Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and occupied 20 percent of its territories, the occupation continues. The organizations like UN and NATO see Armenia as an aggressor. Turkey closed the borders with Armenia because of the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by this country. Turkey will not open borders with Armenia as long as the occupation of Karabakh continues”. Referring to his recent meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, H. Ipek said: “I told him that 16-17 years ago Armenians committed massacre in Khojali, about 680 people were murdered. After the expulsion of people from their lands, Armenians occupied these lands. Duty of politicians – to solve the current problems”.
Secretary General noted that Zengezur, which is Azerbaijan’s historical land, a Turkic place, is remained in the territory of Armenia. “This land, belonging to Yerevan khanate, is the territory of Azerbaijan. Currently, all historical works, monuments located in Armenia are destroyed by them. At the same time, historical Azerbaijani, Turkic monuments in Zangazur area too”.
AKP official also added: “The declaration of independence of Turkic republics 20 years ago caused concern of Europeans. Everyone is afraid of unification of the Turkic world. Therefore, the whole world does not respond to the Karabakh problem. 20% of territories of one state are under occupation, but the West remains silent, does not react”.
The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (NMP) Devlet Bahceli urged Armenia to liberate the occupied Azerbaijani lands: “If Armenia has a little bit of pride and honor, before talking about fictional “genocide” issue, has to apologize for the genocide committed while occupying our lands, for terrible events committed in Khojali and abdicate from occupations and their claims on our territories. Without stopping the horrors and crimes of Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh, without demand from the country’s payments for these horrors without end of the occupation, our nation can not be taken any discussion on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations”.
Indeed, the fraternal Turkey always has been, is and will be close to Azerbaijan, in its happy and bad days. Azerbaijan is also always attached to friendly and brotherly relations with Turkey. And hardly anyone will be able to sow discord between the two brotherly countries and peoples.
