It is desirable that Turkey should not interfere in other countries’ states, especially in Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, as it is a party that has its interests in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Stepan Safaryan, Chairman of the Heritage parliamentary faction, told NEWS.am, commenting on Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s statement that the Armenian-Azerbaijani border must be reopened together with the Armenian-Turkish border.

According to him, Turkey’s historical experience is “so bitter” that all of its attempts to settle any conflicts end in disaster. “Turkey must first become a state that would generate domestic peace and stability, and only then try to lay claims to fostering values in the region,” Safaryan said. He pointed out that the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations cannot in any way “pursue Turkey’s whims.”
