Azerbaijani and Turkish opposition parties need to meet: party chairman

20 October 2009 [10:57] - TODAY.AZ
The leader of Azerbaijan's opposition party says it important to meet with representatives of political parties in Turkey in connection with the signing of Turkey-Armenia protocols.
"However, because of the lack of such a tradition, it is very difficult to organize such a meeting," chairman of Azerbaijan Democratic Party (ADP) Sardar Jalaloglu said.

Jalaloglu said although the political parties in Azerbaijan make such attempts, it is unlikely that the meeting will take place.

"Extensive bilateral ties have not been established between the parties of Azerbaijan and Turkey. On the other hand, in addition to our desires, it is also essential that Turkish parties also have interest in this," said the party chairman.

The opening of borders between Turkey and Armenia and bringing this issue to agenda without the solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can result in unexpected processes in the region, he added.

"The opposition of Azerbaijan is concerned with this issue not less than the government. For this reason, for the benefit of the common matter, it would also be beneficial to make consultations with opposition parties of Turkey," Jalaloglu said.
