“The recent events in Georgia underscore the importance of a timely resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” said Bryza, who has been the chief U.S. mediator to end the conflict in the region.
“This is well understood in Washington and is the reason for my visit this week,” he was quoted by the AP as saying.

Following his visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan last week, Turkish President Abdullah Gul stated that he “observed the same sincere desire for a solution” for the Karabakh conflict in both Yerevan and Baku.

Turkish, Armenian foreign ministers agree to normalize relations
Hurriyet
The Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers have agreed to normalize bilateral relations during a late-night meeting held in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, after the Turkish president’s landmark visit, Hurriyet daily wrote on Monday.
Armenia’s Eduard Nalbandian and Turkey’s Ali Babacan have agreed on several issues; including the opening of closed borders, the establishment of diplomatic relations and entering a normalization process, in Saturday night’s meeting, Hurriyet reported.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul paid a landmark visit to Yerevan after Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan invited him to watch a 2010 World Cup qualifying match between the two countries’ national teams. A Turkish delegation, including Babacan, accompanied Gul during his historical visit.
Turkey is among the first countries that recognized Armenia when it declared its independency in the early 1990s. However there is no diplomatic relations between two countries, as Armenia presses the international community to admit the so-called “genocide” claims instead of accepting Turkey’s call to investigate the allegations, and its invasion of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory despite U.N. Security Council resolutions on the issue.

Fatih Cekirge: A signal for a new Nogorno-Karabakh map during Armenia visit
Fatih Cekirge, Hurriyet
After the history packed with murders, assassinations, attacks, hate, closed borders, invasions, and claims of genocide… This was the first time that a president of the Turkish Republic has paid a visit to Armenia. Since this was a historic visit, I allocate my entire column to this visit I paid together with President Abdullah Gul.
This was the atmosphere just after the match… The two presidents are having a conversation, and we are listening to them. Jokes are being made. The Armenians had prepared a very nice open buffet. There was no sign of victory or defeat on their faces. Gul turns to Sargsyan and says:
-I will visit Azerbaijan after my visit here. I hope positive developments will emerge…
Sargsyan replies:
- Of course… We are ready.
This is very important because Sargsyan clearly states, “We want the borders open with Turkey. We want a solution to problems.”

Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: “Stability in the South Caucasus is impossible unless the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is settled”
Today.AZ
Currently, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is the most easily settled in the region, said head of the center of political innovations and technologies Mubariz Ahmedoghlu at a press conference on the political results of August.
He noted that Armenians always said that Nagorno Karabakh is a formation, which is the most prepared to independence among all the self-declared republics.
“However, the Kosovo issue emerged following Nagorno Karabakh, but this region has also been recognized, while Armenia, fearing Russia and drawing parallels with Kosovo, did not dare to recognize independence of the so called “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”. Then Russia recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia but this time Armenia again did not recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh, unwilling to put “Nagorno Karabakh Republic” on the list of these separatist formations”, said the political scientist.
He considers that all these moments allow Azerbaijan to settle the conflict easily.

Paata Davitaya: “Armenia has largely intensified its actions for recognition of independence of Nagorno Karabakh”
Today.AZ
Azerbaijan should realize that great shocks are expected in the whole South Caucasus region, said chairman of the Mi sami political movement Paata Davitaya.
He said we have already witnessed that Russia stimulated separatist moods in our region, recognizing independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
“We see, however, the first signs of how Russian leadership’s mistakes get back to Russia – owner of opposition website Ingushetiya.ru Magomed Evloyev was killed in Ingushetiya, which created a criticism towards Russia by US Department of State, sharply worsened the situation in Ingushetia, whose public has already declared the intention to separate from Russia”.
According to Davitaya, the Armenian leadership has intensified its actions on recognition of Nagorno Karabakh’s independence.

Alovsat Aliyev: “Armenians use any falsifications by means of which they try to increase the number of the citizens of Armenia and “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”
Today.AZ
The leadership of Azerbaijan should draw attention of the world society to facts of issuance of passports, which fix “Nagorno Karabakh Republic” as a country of residence to the citizens of different countries, especially, Iran, said head of the Azerbaijani Center of Legal Protection of Migrants Alovsat Aliyev.
He said there is a European convention “On citizenship” under which any state, along with providing refuge, may also provide citizenship of their country to a citizen of other state.
“But Nagorno Karabakh has no right to present citizenship, as it is an Armenian-occupied territory of Azerbaijan, which means that the passports of this formation are illegal documents.
