Ambassador: WikiLeaks material not to affect Azerbaijan-Turkey fraternal relations

Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 2 / Trend M. Aliyev /

The WikiLeaks materials will not affect the fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic told media.

“Azerbaijan and Turkey have established good relations,” he said. “We do not establish ties based on the rumors and fantasy of WikiLeaks. Turkey and Azerbaijan are inseparable. Such publications will not harm Azerbaijani-Turkish relations.”

Roughly 250,000 secret diplomatic telegrams and letters sent from U.S. diplomatic missions in various countries to the U.S. State Department were transferred via WikiLeaks to the New York Times and several other influential media outlets this week.

The documents marked as “secret” disclose the details of the correspondence of President Barack Obama’s administration on various crises and conflicts. However, the most harmful facts among the leaked information is likely the harsh statements of U.S. diplomats about Muslim presidents and European leaders, quotes from supposedly private conversations between foreign leaders and U.S. officials and Hilary Clinton’s demands to spy on members of the U.N. Security Council from Russia, China, France and Great Britain.

The Azerbaijani Presidential Press Office called the information published on this website “unfounded.”
