OPENING TURKISH-ARMENIAN BORDER CONTRADICTS NATIONAL INTERESTS OF AZERBAIJAN, ZIYAFET ASGAROV
Baku, 10 April (AzerTAc. “Opening of the border between Turkey and Armenia contradicts national interests of Azerbaijan”, said First Vice-Speaker of the Milli Majlis Ziyafet Asgarov. He underscored the problem will be discussed with Turkish parliamentarians who are due to come to Baku soon.
"The Turkish government has repeatedly said that the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border depends on the following terms: Armenia should turn down territorial and genocide allegations against Turkey and free the occupied Azerbaijani territories," Asgarov said.
"Armenia had not yet complied with any of the abovementioned conditions, and in this case, opening of the borders can never be acceptable," he added.
