â€œWe understand the problems of Azerbaijan, as we have analogous problems. But despite all problems we are resolute to improve our relations,â€? he said.
Mehmed Ali Talat said that he paid an official visit to Pakistan and noted that he expects an official invitation from Azerbaijan. Mehmed Ali Talat said the resolution of the UN Security Council concerning TRNC is applied unconditionally, but Armenia does not fulfill the resolutions of the same organization on the liberation of Azerbaijani territories.
â€œI donâ€™t like the word double standard. There are but more standards here. Different standards are applied to both countries. Nagorno Garabagh and Northern Cyprus should not be substituted. The occupation of 20% of Azerbaijani territories is a terrible fact. The world community is indifferent to it. The accession of Greek Cyprus, to the European Union, is an important factor against us. The Greek do not reach consensus. In this situation it comes into view why we are facing manifold but not double standards,â€? he said. /APA/
