Turkey wishes peace and stability in region
If Turkey wishes peace in South Caucasus, Ankara should to resolve all problems with neighbors, said Turkey's Grand National Assembly (GNAT) Speaker Mehmet Ali Shahin.

"If one lives in a house where there are problems with neighbors, there'll be no peace there. The same goes for us. To achieve peace in the region, we are required to solve problems with our neighbors. This is what Turkish leadership seeks for."

To the question whether Armenian and Turkish parliaments might propose initiatives within the frameworks of Armenian-Turkish process, GNAT Speaker said, "if the point goes to that, it's possible, but parties are still far from it," Turkish Cumhuriyet quotes him as saying.
