Erdogan to table Garabagh in Russia: sources
The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper (Nagorno)
Garabagh will be on the agenda during Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Russia, due to begin January 12, Turkish
media reported.
Turkish and Russian officials will reportedly discuss regional issues, in particular, ways of fostering reconciliation in the volatile Caucasus region. Ankara is expected to call on Moscow to exert more influence in settling the Garabagh conflict.
Discussions will also center on efforts to normalize Turkey-Armenia relations, which have been strained for decades.
During Erdogan’s two-day visit, talks will also focus on trade, investments, as well as Turkish-Russian cooperation in implementing energy projects, such as the Blue Stream 2 and South Stream gas pipelines. Ankara and Moscow are also expected to table the project on the planned Samsun-Ceyhan oil pipeline linking Turkey's Black Sea and Mediterranean coasts. Russian energy majors Transneft and Rosneft are seeking a 50 percent share in the pipeline.*
