Police in Baku clashed with a group of demonstrators, who protested
against the Turkish-Armenian reconciliation process.
"Turkey, Do Not Betray Karabakh" read posters carried by activists
of the Organization for the Liberation of Karabakh on October 13,
the Kavkazsky Uzel news service reported.
Many Azerbaijanis view Ankara's intention to reopen the
Turkish-Armenian border as a betrayal of Baku's interests. Ankara
closed the border in solidarity with Baku in 1993, when Armenian
forces gained control of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh territory,
in addition to adjacent Azerbaijani lands.
