The opening of Armenia-Turkey border without the ratification of the
Armenia-Turkey Protocols is not included in the political agenda of
Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said after a meeting
with the Iraqi Vice-President Tariq Hashim in Ankara and before his
visit to Baku.
"In that way Mr Sargsyan [meaning Sahakyan] has expressed his hopes
and expectations. No such issue of opening the Armenia-Turkey border
without the ratification of the Protocols is included in Turkey's
agenda," Turkish Anadolu news agency quotes Davutoglu as saying in
reference to the recent viewpoints expressed by Galust Sahakyan,
the Deputy President of the Republican Party of Armenia.
On April 15 Galust Sahakyan said that the Armenia-Turkey rapprochement
is not limited to the ratification of the Protocols.
"The border may open before the Protocols are ratified," Sahakyan
had said, adding that it was his version of the current situation.
