An Azeri MP believes Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s congratulating his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan on reelection to be a rush step.

“We can’t interfere in Turkey’s internal affairs. However, in Baku’s opinion, Gul might have refrained from congratulating Sargsyan. We can neither protest against the fact nor accept it,” Nizami Jafarov said.

“Still, it would be better if Turkey took a harsher stance on Armenia,” Trend News quoted the MP as saying.
