Members of Azerbaijani parliament have condemned the possible opening
of the Turkey-Armenia border. MPs from the opposition Musavat party
say opening of Turkey-Armenia border will harm Turkey.
"Opening of borders will harm bilateral ties with Azerbaijan, Turkey's
regional ally. States who are concerned with friendly ties between
the two countries can take advantage of it," MP Ikram Israfil said.
MP from the ruling New Azerbaijan Party Mubariz Gurbanli said Turkey
has supported Azerbaijan since the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict started.
"Turkey's refusing to open borders is praiseworthy. We hope Turkish
officials will be committed to their statements," Gurbanli said.
Ruling party deputy chairman and executive secretary Ali Ahmadov said
Turkey has severed ties with Armenia as a "protest against occupation
of Azerbaijani lands." He voiced hope that Turkey-Armenia ties will
not be restored until the Karabakh conflict is resolved.
