Azerbaijan decided not to interfere into Armenia-Turkey relations?
Turkey will itself decide whether to normalize relations with Armenia or not. Azerbaijan will never meddle with the affairs of other sovereign states, said a spokesman for the Azeri Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minsiter Recep Tayyip Erdogan have already condemned the apology campaign," Khazar Ibrahim said, Bakililar.az reports.

Over 20 thousand of Turkish intellectuals, authors, journalists, scientists and musicians have already signed the apology petition which reads, "My conscience does not accept the insensitivity showed to and the denial of the Great Calamity that befell the Ottoman Armenians in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers. I apologize to them."
