Akif Çagatay Kılıç, the Turkish president's chief advisor on foreign policy and security issues, said in an interview with Azerbaijan's APA news agency that “in the current situation there are no prerequisites” for mutual opening of Turkish and Armenian diplomatic missions.

“In the current situation, there are no prerequisites for discussing this issue. And I have no information about it. I will note once again that our position on this process is known: a peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia will be the key to solving many issues,” Azerbaijani media quoted Erdogan's chief advisor as saying.

He also spoke about Turkey's position on the normalization process with Armenia.

“For us, Azerbaijan's security and territorial integrity are the most important factors. Speaking from this position, we are closely following the process between Azerbaijan and Armenia after the Second Karabakh War, the issue of the peace treaty and we are taking steps in accordance with it. Naturally, we have discussions with Armenia. There are international structures in which Azerbaijan, Turkey and Armenia are represented. We are working to find the most correct solution, move forward together and live in peace,” Kılıç said.
