The Government of Turkey has more than once expressed its principal
position relating to opening of the Armenian-Turkish border and will
not change its position, Mustafa Kabakchi, MP of the Great National
Assembly (Parliament) of Turkey from the ruling Justice and Development
Party, reported on Tuesday.
"Turkish officials, whether Prime Minister or President or Foreign
Minister every time stresses his determination and steadfastness
in this issue," said Kabakchi who is also the Chairman of the
Turkey-Azerbaijan Friendship Group.
He said a group of Turkish and Armenian business people is unable
to change anything in the issue of opening of the Armenian-Turkish
border or improvement of relations between the two states.
Turkish and Armenian businessmen today signed a Memorandum of
cooperation. The framework agreement signed at the sidelines of an
Armenian-Turkish business forum in Yerevan on November 22-23 envisions
intensification of contacts amongst entrepreneurs of the two states
and lobbying of business structures in the issue of opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border.
Responsible for this task will be the Union of Industrialists and
Entrepreneurs of Armenia from Armenian side and the Turkish-Armenian
Business Development Council (TABDC) from Turkish side.
As viewed by Kabakchi, any news propagating rapprochement in
Armenian-Turkish relations is spread by common enemies of Turkey
and Azerbaijan.
"Certain forces try to use such sort of news to sow discords in
Turkish-Azerbaijani relations, which are a cause of anxiety for common
enemies of Turkey and Azerbaijan," he noted.
Turkish and Armenian Foreign Ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandyan signed Protocols of normalization of bilateral relations
in Zurich on October 10, 2009. The Protocols, to enter into force,
need to be ratified by the Parliaments of the two countries.
The Government of Turkey stated that relations between Ankara and
Yerevan will be restored after Armenia pulls out from the occupied
Azerbaijani lands.
There are no diplomatic relations between Turkey and Armenia, and
the border between the two countries has been closed since 1993. The
reasons are that the Armenians claim for international recognition
of the so-called genocide and that the Armenian armed forces have
occupied Azerbaijani territories.
