Baku - APA-TV. The policy pursued by the Turkish leader is not line
with the friendly relations between the two countries, MP Gudrat
Hasanguliyev told APA TV while commenting on the launching of
Yerevan-Van flight.
The MP considers that if Turkey doesn't establish diplomatic relations
with Armenia due to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, but establishes
relations through Georgia and allows Armenians working in Turkey, the
closed borders are mere formality: `Maybe, it allows the ambassador of
Turkey to say with a favor that no country but Turkey keeps its border
closed with Armenia. I consider that Azerbaijan should not interfere
in it, even if the borders are opened. That does not change anything.
Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants are working in Turkey and
sending funds to Armenia.'
MP Fazil Musatafa said that Turkey has taken this step to protect its
image in the international arena and show normal attitude to the other
cultures: `Launching charter flight to Van is related with the
existence of monuments in Van and there are international pressures on
Turkey to create condition for Armenians to visit these monuments. To
my mind it should be seen as a local problem. There is no need to
exaggerate this.'
Fazil Mustafa said that as long as Turkey's policy is not changed,
Azerbaijan's reproaches on Turkey can undermine relations: `We are
jealous of any contact with the occupant regime, including the
separatist regime established in Nagorno-Karabakh, especially if these
contacts are established by friendly countries. We regard any contact
with this country as a factor strengthening the occupant regime and
this protracts the fact of occupation.'
The first Yerevan-Van flight will be operated on April 3.
