Babacan: solution to problems between Yerevan, Baku and Ankara close
A solution to the disputes between Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan has never been so real since World War I, Turkey's Foreign Minister said.

"Serzh Sargsyan's administration believes that solution of problems with both Turkey and Azerbaijan will bring stability and welfare to the country," Ali Babacan told Hurriyet daily.

"If Azerbaijan and Armenia reach an agreement on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, it will be very helpful," he said.

Turkey broke off relations with Armenia in 1993 to support Azerbaijan in Karabakh issue.
