Azerbaijani FM: Turkey should decide itself on normalization with Armenia

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that Baku will react to attempts aimed at resumption of the Armenian-Turkish normalization.

“Of course, the decision on the Armenian-Turkish normalization should be adopted by Turkey. We cannot interfere in its internal affairs. But on the other hand, if the process proceeds in the same format as earlier, without taking into consideration Azerbaijan’s interests, we will be forced to react. And the Turkish authorities have conceived it. We urge Turkey, as a very influential country, to play the role of a regulator and contribute to progress in the Karabakh conflict settlement,” Moskovskie Novosti quoted Mammadyarov as saying.
