    On the issue of a common language and alphabet of the Turkic-speaking people, the intelligency of Azerbaijan is the only hope – Turkish Ambassador to Russia

    Russia, Moscow, January 1 / TrendNews R. Mashadigasanli / The only question that remained unsolved between the Turkic-speaking people, is the question of a single alphabet – Turkey’s Ambassador to Russia Halil Akinci told Trend News on thursday.

    According to him, even in the XIX century, the Turks around the world accepted the Istanbul dialect as a common language, accessible to all Turkic-speaking people.

    But as the time went on, each people gave preference to its own language, which is quite natural. (more…)

    Baku. Lachin Sultanova–APA. Turkey’s ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic held a press conference resuming 2008. The ambassador called it very important year from the view of development of Turkey-Azerbaijan relationship, APA reports. The diplomat said the two countries had perfect political relations embodied ten meetings at the level of presidents and prime ministers and 30 ministerial visits this year. Speaking about the economic relations Kilic said trade turnover between the two countries reached 2.5 million dollars. He reminded about the successful cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan in the transnational oil and gas projects and said Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway would be opened in 2010 which would lay a road from China to London.

    The diplomat said outgoing year was a year of jubilees for both Azerbaijan and Turkey. This year was a year of 90th anniversary of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and its parliament and army, 85th anniversary of Republic of Turkey, 90th anniversary of establishing of the Caucasian Islamic Army and its arrival in Azerbaijan and liberation of Baku. The ambassador said the Ottoman Empire, living its final days, sent eight thousand troops to Azerbaijan and more than 1200 Turkish soldiers died in the battles for Azerbaijan.

    Kilic said Turkey wanted a soonest solution to the Nagorno karabakh conflict and would always support Azerbaijan in this issue. Touching on the campaign of apology to Armenians, the ambassador said the Turkish nation did nothing to apologize and would not apologize to anyone. He said those who joined the campaign were wrong.

    MP from CHP: “Will the apologizers to Armenians call on them to apologize to Azerbaijan for Khojali genocide?”

     
     

    Istanbul. Mais Alizadeh –APA. “Such initiative is a great disrespect to the Turkish people. Apologizing to Armenians for 1915 events is the inviting Turkey to recognize this calumny.

    Such campaigns aim to conceal Armenian occupation policy”, said deputy chairman of the Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP) Onur Oymen reacting to the campaign started by a group of persons in Turkey for apologizing to Armenians, APA Turkish bureau reports.

    Oymen said Armenia kept 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands under the occupation for more than 15 years. Oymen called the Khojali genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijani people in 1992 as a tragedy of the century.
    “Do those, who proposed to apologize to Armenians for 1915 events which has no relation to the genocide, see occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians and the genocide committed by them in Khojali?”

    The member of the parliament from CHP said if Armenians saw one per cent of pressure, which Turkey faced to open borders with Armenia, they would be withdrawn from the Azerbaijani lands. “The world doesn’t put pressure on the Armenians. Despite numerous statements by the international organizations, the Armenians didn’t withdraw even from a village of Azerbaijan. Will those, who invited our community to apologize to Armenians, demand the Armenians to withdraw from Azerbaijani lands? Will they call on the Armenians to apologize to Azerbaijan for Khojali genocide? It is very interesting for me”.
