Azerbaijani ruling party doesn't believe in opening of the
Turkish-Armenian border during the NATO exercises.
"Both the Azerbaijani and Turkish societies have expressed their
views on this issue which is great importance for both peoples.
Opening the border between Turkey and Armenia is impossible until
Armenia liberates Azerbaijan's occupied territories," New Azerbaijan
Party Deputy Chairman Ali Ahmadov told journalists today.
Earlier, it was reported that Turkey does not exclude possibility
of a partial and temporary opening of the Turkish-Armenian border in
Sept.11- 17 as part of NATO military exercises planned in Armenia.
However, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu denied these reports.
Ahmadov said Armenia pursues a deliberate policy to harm the
Azerbaijani-Turkish friendship.
"To this end, false news constantly leak about opening of the
Turkish-Armenian border. I believe that the Azerbaijani society should
show respect and confidence to the Turkish ruling circles' statements
that border with Armenia will open only after Azerbaijan's occupied
lands are liberated," Ahmadov noted.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the United
States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
