ArmInfo. 'Azerbaijan is in condition of war with Armenia. That is why
we have no moral right to speak of visa-free regime and open borders',
Minister of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan Abulfas Garayev told
Novosti-Azerbaijan when asked if the ministry applied to the Foreign
Ministry of Azerbaijan for facilitation of visa system with EU
member-countries like the Ukraine and Georgia did. 'When the
Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict gets a political settlement, we will open
our borders. Now, we cannot speak of open borders for national security
reasons since they may take advantage of this,' the minister said. He
also added that getting visas through tourist companies is normal and
accessible to everyone.
