Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu revealed that Ankara is negotiating with Azerbaijan on normalising relations with Armenia.

"We are consulting with Azerbaijan on these issues. Very positive messages came from Armenia. We also said that we would respond to positive steps taken by Armenia. We are also discussing what steps we can take together with Azerbaijan,” Cavusoglu shared.

Cavusoglu noted that while Azerbaijan had urged Armenia to recognise that "the war is over and let's sign a peace agreement," Armenia has yet to positively respond, adding that Turkey would take all decisions in consultation with Azerbaijan.

On October 26, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during his one-day visit to Lachin District, said that Ankara is ready to normalise relations with Yerevan if Armenia resolves its problems with Azerbaijan.

"The conditions for building a lasting peace are now more favourable than ever [before]. In this regard, Armenia needs to show its sincere will to resolve issues with Azerbaijan. If it does that, there will be no obstacle to the normalisation of relations between Turkey and Armenia," Erdogan said in Zangilan.

Erdogan made the statement when he and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev were inspecting the construction of the Ahmedbeyli-Horadiz-Mijnavan-Aghbend highway.

Earlier in the day, Erdogan and Aliyev cut a ribbon marking the official opening of the airport located in Fuzuli.
