Azerbaijani member of parliament proposed to sign 'road map' with
Turkey on Sept. 30.
"It is necessary for Azerbaijan to sign 'road map' with Ankara before
signing of the protocol on establishment of diplomatic relations
between Turkey and Armenia scheduled for October 10. Turkey must
take obligations on issues that can harm Azerbaijani interests,"
MP, deputy chairman of Azerbaijani pro-governmental 'Ana Veten'
party Zahid Oruj said.
Final version of the protocol will be signed between Turkish Foreign
Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian
on Oct. 10-11, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told
media earlier.
Turkey and Armenia reached an agreement to launch 'internal political
consultations' concerning signing of 'Protocol on establishment
of diplomatic relations' and 'Protocol on development of bilateral
relations' during the talks under Switzerland's mediation, Turkish
foreign ministry said in August.
"Political consultations will complete during six weeks. Afterwards,
two protocols will be signed. Then they will be submitted for approval
of both countries' parliaments," Turkish foreign ministry said.
Tirkey-Armenia border has been closed since 1993.
Oruj said that opening of Turkish-Armenian border can seriously impact
the processes in the region.
The first deputy speaker Ziyafet Askerov voiced his anxiety concerning
this issue.
"We believe that Turkey will not take any actions contradicting
Azerbaijani interests," he said.
