Baku, 31 0ctober ,(AzerTAj)Turkey`s Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said at the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Europe and Central Asia that there are good signs that long-running disputes between Turkey and Armenia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan can be resolved, opening up the prospect of a new more positive geopolitical situation in
the region, according to WEF`s website.

cooperation. He also pointed out Turkey was ready to use its perceived position as a
"balancing power" to contribute to peace and stability.
