The Turkish Foreign Minister has stated that durable reconciliation in the Caucasus can be possible only after the liberation of the Armenian-occupied lands of Azerbaijan.

"The Ankara-Yerevan protocols have been signed to ensure durable reconciliation in the region. It is possible only after liberation of the Azerbaijani lands from occupation. By signing the protocols the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been brought to the focus of international community," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters in Baku.
Davutoglu said that Turkey will continue supporting Azerbaijan in the way it has done so far.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not a problem of Azerbaijan, but also of Turkey. Turkey holds a decisive position in this issue. Before signing the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich we held discussion on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton," Davutoglu added.
