    ALIYEV SAYS TO OPEN BORDERS IF ARMENIA TROOPS QUIT AZERI LAND

    President said that his country would open all its borders with
    Armenia, if Armenia started to withdraw its occupant forces from the
    Azerbaijani territory.

    Azerbaijan's president said on Monday that his country would open all
    its borders with Armenia, if Armenia accepted the revised Madrid
    criteria and started to withdraw its occupant forces from the
    Azerbaijani territory.

    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev appeared at a joint press
    conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan following
    a tete-a-tete meeting and talks between Turkish and Azerbaijani
    delegations at his presidential Zagulba Palace.

    Speaking at the conference, Aliyev said talks had been held for long
    years for the solution of the Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia.

    Noting that Azerbaijan had been displaying efforts for a fair and
    peaceful solution that was in accordance with international law,
    Aliyev said his country approved the revised Madrid criteria on the
    matter with only some minor exceptions and it expected Armenia to
    act the same way.

    "Armenia should express its stance on the matter," Aliyev said, noting
    the country would either display a positive stance and parties would
    get closer to a settlement, or it would respond negatively and the
    negotiation process would be destroyed.

    The Azerbaijani president said that his country would open its borders
    with Armenia and peace and security measures would be taken in the
    region, if Armenia stopped its invasion on the Azerbaijani territory.

    Upon a question on whether the Azerbaijani natural gas would join the
    Nabucco project, Aliyev said the Azerbaijani gas was a great source
    for the pipelines in the region, adding his country could participate
    in such project under the right conditions.
