    DHA: Azerbaijan opposes opening of Turkish-Armenian border before
    Nagorno-Karabakh issue is solved

    4 April 2009 | 16:58 | FOCUS News Agency


    Baku/Ankara. Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed
    concern over the perspective to open Turkish-Armenian border before
    the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is solved, saying the opening would
    contradict to the country's national interests, Turkish Dogu Haber
    Ajansi /DHA/ agency informs.

    Answering a question of the Azerbaijani news agency APA, Foreign
    Ministry Spokesperson Elhan Poluhov highlighted that such a step would
    be interpreted as `an inclination to encourage Armenia's conquering
    policy towards Azerbaijani territories.'

    When Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov visited Georgia on
    Thursday, he said that `if the border is opened before the withdrawal
    of the Armenian troops from the occupied Azerbaijani territories, the
    opening would be against Azerbaijan's national interests.'

    This opinion has been presented to Turkey's leadership, the minister
    said, cited by the Turkish press.
