/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The United States, Europe and Russia want to settle
their geopolitical problems through opening of the Armenian-Turkish
border, former Turkish President said.
`The U.S. often offered Turkey to open the border with Armenia but it
never said what will be Turkey's benefits in that case,' Suleiman
Demirel said. `Together with my friend, Heydar Aliyev, we laid the
foundation of Turkish-Azerbaijani relations. But there are
short-sighted politicians who can damage our ties.'
If Ankara really wants to become a regional leader it should press for
liberation of the `occupied territories,' according to Demirel.
