    Azerbaijan's Ambassador in Ankara Zakir Hashimov said Saturday the
    foreign ministries of Turkey and Azerbaijan discussed Turkish-Armenian
    relations over phone and reached a common understanding, Anadolu
    Agency reported.

    Speaking to reporters at a fast-breaking dinner in Ankara, Ambassador
    Hashimov indicated that the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border
    prior to resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh issue would be against
    Azerbaijan's interests.

    "As Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    said, we believe that the border will not get opened unless the issue
    of Nagorno-Karabakh is resolved," Hashimov said.

    Asked about what he thinks on two protocols signed by Turkey
    and Armenia, Ambassador Hashimov stressed that "Turkey is a great
    country. It is Turkey's own business to decide with which countries
    it establishes relations".
