As Turkey, we also want to focus our geographical neighborhood relations on deeper cooperation. We wish Armenia to hold the hand of solidarity extended to it in good faith, and to make good use of the opportunity to shape a common future together. We said six platforms. As you know, there are Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Iran on these six platforms. Together with these six platforms, we now want the region to be a zone of peace and tranquility. My brother and I are ready to make any sacrifice to take this step. Mr Putin is equally ready for such a sacrifice. With the steps taken in this direction, the region will become a zone of peace.
