Cavusoglu says Turkey holds consultations with Azerbaijan on ties with Armenia

"We hold consultations with Azerbaijan on the normalization of relations with Armenia," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with CNN Turk in response to a journalist's question of whether there is a positive message from Armenia.

He noted that some positive messages were received from the other side regarding the opening of the border with Armenia and added that consultations with Azerbaijan would be held in relation to these issues. "I met with my Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Azerbaijan's Fuzuli and Zangilan districts. We discussed these issues in detail. There are positive messages. We have said that we will respond to these messages in the same way.

"Azerbaijan offers to sign a peace agreement with Armenia after the conflict. However, Armenia has not yet responded positively. We have repeatedly stated that we will work with Azerbaijan on relations with Armenia, and our position remains unchanged," the minister said.
