The South Caucasus states as well as the countries, connected with these states, should join efforts to build their future, says Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoghlu.
"Our fields and intentions are common, only in this case we can build our future", Turkish mass medias report with reference to Ahmet Davutoghlu, who commented on the statement of Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan saying "the ball in the Turkish-Armenian game is currently on the Turkish side".

Davutoghlu said "these relations are not a ball that is in the middle of the field, these relations have a common future".

"Turkey is ready to improve relations with Armenia as it does with all its neighbors", said he.

"As for the fact that today the ball is on our side, we have passed this process more than once. Not a ball but our common future is on the field and we should build it together. This process should include Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia and other participants in the region.

All of us should demonstrate good intentions and avoid steps that might hamper these processes. We are watching these processes with hope and expect the transformation of the region into the source of peace, security and independence upon completion of these processes", noted Davutoghlu.

The Foreign Minister noted that his country will support OSCE MG efforts in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
