Ambassador Kilic told journalists that President Ilham Aliyev recommended him to visit the frontline regions and to meet the local residents there, when he was appointed to Azerbaijan. â€œAt first I visited Tovuz Region and met with the people of frontline villages. Now I am together with the residents of Goranboyâ€™s Tap-Garagoyunlu Village. I am very pleased with my visit. I met the people and saw their problems and difficult living conditionsâ€.

Speaking about the recent publications in Turkish newspapers about Azerbaijan, the ambassador said those publications could not shadow the inter-State relations. â€œRead the newspapers, but donâ€™t believe everything there. Turkey tries to establish its relations with all its neighbors in the highest levelâ€. Kilic also answered the question about the Turkish-Armenian relations. â€œTurkey intends to have normal relations with Armenia, as it has with other neighbors, but it can be realized only after the peaceful liberation of Azerbaijani lands from the occupationâ€.
