“Karabakh issue is a serpentine road but peace in this issue can be achieved step by step.

According to 1news.az, the statement came from Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in an interview with Turkish NTV channel.

He said peace-building is a very complex process, depending on many different parameters which cannot be controlled at the same time.

“One single shell can destroy the regime of ceasefire in Karabakh”, the Turkish Minister said.

All the same, he noted that the statement of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip on events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire cannot be perceived as a leverage of pressure on relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

The minister noted that the text of Erdogan’s statement must turn into a source of reference of those who analyze the events of 1915.

“Probably, we did not receive the desired reaction of Armenians to the statement of the premier but this does not mean that Ankara plans to reject condolences.

Because human factor in this issue is most important for us. In addition, the reaction of the third parties who will be obliged to review their position in relation of the events in the Ottoman Empire is also critical”, Davutoglu said.

He voiced hope that Erdogan’s statement will help change the image of Armenians about Turkey.

“Now we have the right to ask whether Armenians are going to extend condolences to Turkey over the murder of Turkish diplomats during the terrorist acts? We expect such a step which is why we do not ask such questions”, Davutoglu said.

He noted that the world reaction on Erdogan’s statement shows that Ankara has reached its goal.

“No one expected such a step from Ankara though the first signs were given in 2005. Changes in politics are possible when people’s outlook change. Erdogan’s statement was aimed at this”, the minister said.
