Touching upon regional issues, Erdogan expressed his wish that OSCE Minsk Group would accelerate the settlement of Armenia-Azerbaijan confrontation in Karabakh peace process, and reach any agreement, as “thereby Armenia-Turkey relations’ settlement will be reached easer.”

“We express our will in solution to the problems with Armenia, and I emphasize this. We are doing so on the basis of Turkish interests, however we will not betray Azerbaijan. There is no other solution,” Turkish PM concluded.
