doesn't welcome the move
13:33 - 17.07.10
Ankara is considering the feasibility to temporarily opening the
ground border between Turkey and Ankara which will enable Turkish
military forces to cross the border and participate in an emergency
relief exercise organized by NATO in Armenia from September 11-17,
said Turkish foreign ministry spokesperson Burak Ozugergin.
According to Turkish news agency Anadolu Ozugergin said at the same
time that previous news about those exercise and the possible opening
of the border are not true.
Earlier local Turkish daily Radikal reported that Turkey might open
the ground border with Armenia so that Turkish military forces could
also participate in those exercises.
Turkish Hurriyet Daily News & Economic review had also touched upon
the subject. According to the newspaper an Armenian diplomatic source
told Radio Free Europe radio under condition of anonymity that Yerevan
did not welcome such a development of events and might not allow the
Turkish forces to cross the border into Armenia.
