Deputy Chairman of Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), former state minister, parliamentarian, Professor Tunca Toskay gives interview to APA’s Turkey bureau

-We would like you to explain to Azerbaijani public the position of the Nationalist Movement Party concerning the attempts for normalization of the relations between Turkey and Armenia.

-The position of the Nationalist Movement Party is clear. Our policy does not look like AKP’s policy, we are pursuing stable and firm policy. There are three red lines for us in Armenian problem:

-Armenians must give up the so-called genocide claims;

-Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding regions must be released;

-Eastern borders of Turkey must be recognized by Armenia officially.

After these stipulations are fulfilled, we can discuss establishment of relations with Armenia. Respectable Prime Minister made a speech in Azerbaijani parliament. We want him to remember the words he said to our Azerbaijani brothers. We will keep on reminding Prime Minister those words.

-Do you think these processes may weaken the ties between Azerbaijani and Turkish peoples?

-The Azerbaijanis should feel that there are Turkish nationalists who share their concern and are ready for any selflessness. Authorities will change, but nations will live forever. We are one nation – two states. MHP says this sincerely, not as a cliché. We feel this. We assure our brothers that as long as we are here, Turkey can not take a step against them in the Caucasus. Azerbaijani people are a part of Turkish nation. Nationalist Movement Party will not allow any discord between Azerbaijan and Turkey.
