Leader of ruling Justice and Development Party and Turkish Prime Minister Rajap Tayyip Erdogan said that normalization of relations with Armenia was impossible without regulation of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. During meeting with local residents of Igdir related to elections to be held on June 12, Prime Minister noted that Nakhchivan highway was finished and would be opened in the coming days. Thereafter, Erdogan made statement on “Karabakh and Nakhchivan are our issues”.

“Sorrow of Azerbaijan is our sorrow, joy of Azerbaijan is our joy. Here, in Igdir, I once more declare that normalization of relations with Armenia is impossible without regulation of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We have always supported Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh and will support in future too. Nobody must expect any other thing from us in this issue. We gave decent responds to Armenian and pan-Armenian MPs in PACE who asked us questions in this regard”, said the Prime Minister.
