Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey's position with regard to the Turkish-Armenian and Azerbaijani-Armenian relations is clear and specific, Anadolu agency reported.

Only after the liberation of the occupied Azerbaijani territories can one talk about normalization of Turkish-Armenian relation and there is no disagreement between Ankara and Baku on this issue Davutoglu said.

He recently said that Turkey wanted Armenia to liberate the occupied Azerbaijani territories.

Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor that caused a lengthy war in the early 1990s.

The UN Security Council has adopted four resolutions on Armenia's withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
