Turkish President Abdullah Gul stated that Armenian-Turkish relations’ normalization will reflect Karabakh conflict settlement, Turkish TRT website reports.

Gul underlined that Armenia-Turkey reconciliation would normalize the situation in the Caucasus. “Armenia-Turkey Protocols will provide stability in the region. If Armenia-Azerbaijan relations are not resumed, there will be no peace in the Caucasus. Armenia-Turkey relations will definitely affect the Karabakh peace process. The Caucasus and Balkans are of immense significance for Turkey and I have already discussed the issue in the course of the phone conversation with the U.S. President Barack Obama,” Gul said.
