The Armenian-Turkish border will not be opened until Azerbaijani lands
are freed, Turkey's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic reported.
"Armenian-Turkish border will not be opened until the Azerbaijani
lands are liberated," the Ambassador told journalists on Thursday.
This is the official position of Ankara, he added.
Turkish and Armenian businessmen 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.
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.
