Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic has said that the
main condition for Turkey to open the border with Armenia is the
"liberation of Nagorno Karabakh".
Kilic also said that Turkey will not agree to any settlement to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that will not satisfy Azerbaijan.
"Our main condition is the liberation of Karabakh. After that we will
open the border with Armenia," he was quoted by the Azerbaijani news
agency APA as saying.
The Turkish ambassador also said that the relations between Turkey
and Azerbaijan are developing in all the spheres.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sparked in the early 1990s when Karabakhi
Armenians in the then autonomous region demanded independence.
Later, tensions spiralled into pogroms against Armenians in Sumgait,
Baku and Nagorno Karabakh that turned into a bloody war, leaving
around 30,000 killed and more than a million displaced.
