`Turkey will not open the borders with Armenia as long as the
occupation of Karabakh continues'
Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA. Turkey will not open borders with
Armenia as long as the occupation of Karabakh continues, Secretary
General of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), MP
Haluk Ipek said at the conference in Erzurum on the theme `Azerbaijan
and Turkey relations in the 20th year of independence', APA reports.
`As Secretary General of Turkey's ruling party I want to say the
following. Armenia has violated Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and
occupied 20 percent of its territories, the occupation continues. The
organizations like UN and NATO see Armenia as an aggressor. Turkey
closed the borders with Armenia because of the occupation of
Azerbaijani territories by this country. The borders will not be
opened as long as the occupation continues,' Haluk Ipek said.
AKP Secretary General also went into the details of his recent talk
with the US Ambassador to Turkey.
`We discussed with the US Ambassador to Turkey a number of issues,
including the Armenian issue. I told him that all our archives are
open. Our archives concerning the happenings in Erzurum are also open,
while Armenia, France and other countries do not open their
archives.Estimation of events happened in history is the work of
historians, but the solution of current processes - work of
politicians. 16-17 years ago Armenians committed massacre in Khojali,
about 680 people were murdered. Duty of politicians - to solve the
current problems'.
Ipek noted that Zengezur, which is Azerbaijan's historical land, a
Turkic place, is in the territory of Armenia. This land, belonging to
Yerevan khanate, is the territory of Azerbaijan: `Currently, all
historical works, monuments located in Armenia are destroyed by them.
At the same time, historical Azerbaijani, Turkic monuments in Zangazur
area too...
Why? Because, Turkey is a window of Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan,
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to the west. The strategy formerly pursued
by Stalin while trying to expand territory of Armenia over Zangazur
till Iran, is still supported by some western states'.
He also added that the declaration of independence of Turkic republics
20 years ago caused concern of Europeans. `Everyone is afraid of
unification of the Turkic world. Therefore, the whole world does not
respond to the Karabakh problem. 20% of territories of one state are
under occupation, but the west remains silent, does not react'.
