02 December 2010 [16:55] - Today.Az
Closer ties between Ankara and Moscow have led to progress in resolving the decades-old conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, Turkish President Abdullah Gul said in an interview with Reuters.
With Russia, Turkey is playing a leading role in trying to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Gul said he discussed the matter with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the Astana summit.
"Even though there is no breakthrough point at the moment, there are some positive steps taking place," Gul said. "There is a silent, but very determined diplomacy."
"I sincerely believe that the de facto situation in the Caucasus is not in the interest of anyone of us," Gul said.
