    Turkey won't open borders with Armenia unless Armenian withdraw its
    troops from occupied Azerbaijani territories, said Nevzat Turkhan,
    governor of Gars province of Turkey upon leaving Baku after his three
    days official visit to Azerbaijan. He stated information about
    opening Turkey's borders with Armenia is groundless. Hasan Zeynalov,
    chief consul of Azerbaijan to Gars considers Azerbaijan has great
    problems in these areas. As there is no transport connection between
    this region and Azerbaijan residents suffer lack of information about
    Azerbaijan. And there are some circles that use this against interest
    of Azerbaijan. In order to eliminate this problem Azerbaijan's Chief
    Consulate to Gars organized three days official visit of governors of
    5 Turkish provinces-Gars, Agri, Erdehan, Iqdir and Arzrum to
    Azerbaijan. Turkish officials held meetings with Azerbaijani
    government leaders within the frames of their official visit ended on
    April 28. Development of cooperation between Azerbaijan and 5
    provinces of Turkey, construction of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main oil
    export pipeline as well as realization of Baku-Tbilisi-Gars railway
    was at the center of attention in the meting with Ilham Aliyev,
    president of Azerbaijan.
