Elnur Aslanov: "Turkey has repeatedly stated that the borders with
Armenia can be opened only after the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict"
Baku. Shamil Alibeyli - APA. "Turkish Prime Minister, Head of State
and Foreign Minister have repeatedly stated that the borders with
Armenia can be opened only after the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict," head of Political Analysis and Information Provision
Department of the Presidential Administration Elnur Aslanov told
journalists, APA reports.
Aslanov said Azerbaijan believes in these promises and considers
that Turkey's foreign policy will continue this strategic direction:
"We are sure of that. Unfortunately, a number of states are working
to open Turkey-Armenia border and financing this process. However,
if studying reasons for the closure of the borders, we will see
that the borders can be opened only after the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is settled. Peace, stability may be
established in the region after Armenia abandons destructive policy.
Unfortunately, today Armenia has become a disruptive factor in the
region due to its non-constructive and irrational policy. This policy
causes Armenia to remain in economic blockade and be an outsider in
political arena."
