ANKARA
(ANSAmed) Turkish representatives will take part in military and
humanitarian training operations organized by NATO which are to be
held in September in Armenia, Turkish daily Radikal reports.
According to Radikal, the names of Turkish servicemen have already
been added to the list of Alliance soldiers who will go to Armenia to
participate in these exercises. In addition, the newspaper says that
there are plans to open the Armenian-Turkish border for a limitless
passage of servicemen for a time period. The exercise is expected to
involve servicemen from 19 member-states and NATO partners. Azerbaijan
has rejected participation in the trainings. The decision to hold
military exercises in Armenia was adopted by NATO member-states,
including Turkey. They will be held on from September 11 to 17.
According to diplomatic sources, a temporary opening of the
Turkish-Armenian border will ensure the passage of military units for
humanitarian purposes, but does not mean that the state border between
Turkey and Armenia will be declared open.
