Need for a "stronger army"-
Underlining Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have not been solved by years and Armenia has ignored the decisions taken by international organizations and has not brought the armed conflict to an end, Aliyev said, "we could not reach any agreements after talks and that's why there is a need of stronger army".

Turkey asks for Swiss mediation in Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict...
ReplyDeleteTurkey has requested support from Switzerland to help overcome conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan to open the way for Ankara to repair ties with Yerevan, which have been cool over the Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh.
During a visit to Switzerland in mid-October, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu told Swiss officials that Turkey is ready to normalize its relations with Armenia, but he made it clear that Yerevan should first leave the Azerbaijani territories it has occupied, Turkish sources told Today's Zaman. The foreign minister said once Switzerland convinces Armenia to leave the occupied territories, Ankara will open its borders with Armenia. The Swiss officials responded positively to Davutoğlu's proposal.
A bloody conflict erupted between ethnic Azeris and Armenians in 1991 over Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous, predominantly Armenian-populated enclave within Azerbaijani borders. Armenian-backed armed forces seized 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories, killing 30,000 people. In a display of solidarity with Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Turkey closed its borders with Armenia.
Davutoğlu, during his recent visit to Switzerland, had pointed out that relations with Armenia are important for Turkey and that Turkey is trying to find new ideas and solutions to develop and cover more ground when it comes to the ties. He hinted that Turkey will increase its studies for better relations with its neighbor in the coming days.
According to the Foreign Ministry sources, Turkey is particularly aiming to normalize relations with Armenia before 2015, the centennial of the so-called Armenian genocide of 1915. Turkey and Armenia had already created a roadmap when the two countries signed twin protocols in 2009 in Switzerland to normalize ties, sources say. However, as Azerbaijan and Armenia have not been able to achieve any results from negotiations, which started at the same time as the Armenian-Turkish normalization, this situation also negatively affects Turkey having better ties with Armenia.
Besides Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia has also "occupied" seven other Azerbaijani provinces adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh....................http://www.todayszaman.com//news-331201-turkey-asks-for-swiss-mediation-in-armenia-azerbaijan-conflict.html

Turkey to propose opening Armenia border during FM Davutoğlu’s visit: Report...
ReplyDeleteTurkey will propose to open its border gate with Armenia in return for Yerevan’s ceding from two occupied Nagorno-Karabakh regions, daily Akşam reported Dec. 9.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu will visit Armenia on Dec. 12, marking a first diplomatic push since the protocols signed between the two countries in 2009, which foresaw the development of relations, including the decision on opening the borders, was shelved.
According to the daily, Davutoğlu will demand Armenia to cede from at least two of the seven regions Armenia has been occupying since 1993. In return, the border gate between two countries will be re-opened.
A 2009 protocol aiming to boost ties was halted upon request by Azerbaijan, which has repeatedly said such a move must not happen until there is an agreement on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh.
