Karabakh conflict is one of the important conditions for the permanent peace in the South Caucasus, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic stated in an interview with Trend News.

“Normalization policy that Turkey pursues towards Armenia should be regarded as part of steps taken to achieve a long-standing peace and stability in the South Caucasus,” he said.

According to him, the process of normalization of the Turkey-Armenia relations will positively improve a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and give impetus to the efforts taken in this direction.

“The settlement of the conflict situation in the South Caucasus and its turning into a region of stability and cooperation is important for the future of the region’s all countries and its well-being. It will benefit the regional countries. Otherwise, steps taken to normalize the situation in the region will not be durable,” Kilic noted.

Turkish Ambassador stressed Turkey’s stance on the conflict resolution remains unchanged.

“I can say that we agree with Azerbaijan on this issue,” he said.
