The Armenian Constitutional Court’s recent ruling on the reconciliation accord signed with Turkey late in 2009 once again proved that Azerbaijan is adhering to a proper stance on the issue, Novruz Mammadov, the head of the Presidential Administration international relations department, told reporters.
Turkey and Armenia face decades of enmity. On October 10, 2009, the two governments signed two protocols to establish diplomatic relations and reopen their borders, in a bid to normalize their strained relations. On January 19, Armenia’s Constitutional Court upheld the October 2009 accord, but leveled certain pre-conditions, which angered Ankara.
"Turkey now comprehends that the Azerbaijani president’s position on the ongoing talks with Armenia on settling the Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict is right, because Turkish officials are clearly witnessing that Armenia is not a serious partner," Mammadov said.
Turkey and Armenia do not have diplomatic relations and the border between the two countries has been closed since 1993. Armenia's occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan, Turkey’s ally, and Yerevan’s claims on the 1915 genocide have been obstacles to normal relations between the two countries.*
