YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS. The release and honoring of murderer
Safarov by the Azerbaijani side is unacceptable. The Rector of the
Kadir Has University of Turkey Dr. Mustafa Aydin expressed this
conviction. Dr. Mustafa Aydin visited Armenia to partake in the
annual international forum "Dynamics of Regional Security in the
South Caucasus", which kicked off in Yerevan on November 29.
Among other things Mustafa Aydin underscored that despite the fact
that Azerbaijan and Turkey are strategic partners, but such a step
of their staunch ally is neither comprehensible, nor acceptable. As
reports "Armenpress" the Rector of the Kadir Has University of Turkey
emphasized: "Azerbaijan should not undertake such a step."
At the same time he does not share the viewpoint of the Turkish
authorities regarding the closed borders with Armenia. Aydin stated:
"Notwithstanding I realize that we must spare no effort for it, but
the border must be opened, we must undertake a number of steps for it.
There is no hostility between the Turkish and Armenian peoples." He
also admitted that Azerbaijani issues have negative impact on the
Armenian-Turkish relations as well.
Referring to the intolerant announcements and speeches of the Prime
Minister of Turkey the Turkish political scientist noted that Erdogan
has his own convictions and "they do not always coincide with ours."
