Suleyman Sensoy: Shusha Declaration is a document with multilateral messages

"I think that the Shusha Declaration signed by Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a significant issue for the relations between the two countries, the Caucasus region, and the whole Turkic world. Relations between the two countries have already been established based on the principles of 'collective defense,' reflected in Article 5 of NATO," the chairman of the World Turkic Forum told Report.

According to him, the Shusha Declaration set a new model: "The establishment of a regional cooperation platform, which includes six countries, including Russia and Armenia, expressed by the Turkish President in Milli Majlis, forms an opinion on the specifics of this new model. "The declaration is a document reflecting both bilateral and multilateral messages. More importantly, I think it will expand the scope of the Turkish Council. On the other hand, the text of the declaration is very comprehensive and in a form that other countries can easily join."

"Shusha is important for Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the whole Turkic world. Of course, leaders of Turkey and Azerbaijan should be careful to continue this process successfully. In particular, the implementation of the Zangazur Corridor project is the first and most important test of the declaration. The Zangazur corridor is also an important issue for the region from an economic point of view."
