Azerbaijan, Baku, May 2/Trend News, J. Babayeva/
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to visit
Azerbaijan in May, Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilij told
reporters.
"The issues that that both countries are interested will be discussed
during the meeting," Kilij said.
Turkey and Armenia are holing talks to re-open borders.
Turkish media reported that the "Road Map" singed between Ankara and
Yerevan comprises 5 paragraphs. According to the document, Armenia
must accept the Kars agreement signed between Turkey and USSR in
1921. A joint commission of historians must be set up to investigate
Armenians' "genocide" claims and the third country can join the
commission. The Armenia-Turkey borders will be opened and relevant
documents will be signed to launch trade relations. Direct diplomatic
relations will be established after Armenia and Turkey accredit their
ambassadors to Georgia to Ankara and Yerevan mutually. Parliament will
directly discuss the issues of the "road map" which must be confirmed
by any legislative body. Although the document does not comprise the
Karabakh issue, the two countries will normalize ties simultaneously
with the resolution of the conflict.
Turkey closed borders with Armenia in 1993 shortly after Armenia
occupied Azerbaijani lands.
