“But I said that recalling me would not be good. I have just come to Azerbaijan and started some activities here. This is the president’s order. Only 11 months passed. My leaving did not make me fully glad. Of course, my new appointment is also a high post. I will be head of president’s secretariat,†he said.
Huseyn Avni Karslioglu said he could not implement all the projects he planned as an ambassador.
“We wanted Abdullah Gul to pay his first official as a president to Azerbaijan and our wish came true. But not all the projects I planned for improving economic relations have been implemented. Turkey-Azerbaijan relations develop in all spheres, especially in political-economic sphere. Turkey is able to do much for the development of non-oil sector in Azerbaijan. We want Azerbaijan to invest funds in Turkey,†the ambassador said.
The ambassador said that Azerbaijan is loved in Turkey. But Azerbaijan is not recognized in Turkey.
“Year of Azerbaijan has not been held in Turkey up to now. Azerbaijan feels happy for any success of Turkey on the international level and Azerbaijan’s achievement also makes Turkey happy. You launch war in Nagorno Karabakh, and see how Turkey boils up. Turkey will be so happy, if Azerbaijani football clubs Karvan, Turan, Garabagh and Khazar-Lankaran win on the international level,†he said.
Speaking about Turkey’s support to Azerbaijan in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the ambassador underlined that his country is not the co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group.
“Neither the co-chairing countries, nor Armenia want this. Our borders with Armenia are closed, and this has a serious influence on Armenians. Turkey undergoes political and economic losses. Turkey is exerted pressure,†he said.
Huseyn Avni Karslioglu said the government devolved Turkish parliament’s authorities in fighting against PKK to the servicemen.
He said that security agencies will take all necessary steps:
“They will either bomb, or carry out operation…â€
The ambassador said he will not be able to take his car GAZ 21 he bought in Azerbaijan with him.
“I planned to buy an old yellow bus and motor tricycle. I like to drive them,†he said.
Huseyn Avni Karslioglu also said he does not part with Azerbaijan, and takes Azerbaijan with him. /APA/
