Touching upon the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in Chisinau on October 9, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of decisions made at that meeting.

Erdogan stated that there was no problem between Azerbaijan and Turkey: â€œTurkey and Armenia will sign protocols on October 10. OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair countries mediating in the solution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict will also attend and witness the signing ceremony. I hope it will positively impact on the process and contribute to the normalization of Turkey - Armenia relations. We will never take any step or decision which can upset Azerbaijan and Iâ€™ve already stated it in Azerbaijani Parliament. Nothing has changed and I stand by my statement that I’ve made thereâ€.

The Prime Minister noted that Armenia had a serious problem like Diaspora: â€œI believe if Armeniaâ€™s leadership demonstrates its will and position it can solve the problem. We completely and fairly demonstrate our will and position and take our steps forwardâ€.
