As Vilayet Guliyev, minister of Foreign Affairs of the Azerbaijan Republic said Turkish ambassador, Ahmed Unal Chelikoz, was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and informed about the objection.

The minister also noticed that, another reason to consider the congratulation letter an absurd as most of countries declared election in Armenia undemocratic. The Turkish ambassador stressed that, the congratulation letter of the Turkish president to Robert Kocharyan wouldn\'t influence to relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Turkish Republic has no diplomatic relations with Armenia and the congratulation letter is only diplomatic formality. (ANS)
