13:08 05.07.2014
Turkey has denied claims that the border gate between Armenia and
Turkey will be opened, World Bulletin reports.
The denial came after a Turkish newspaper published a claim that
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had issued an order that
the Alican Border Gate, which has been closed since 1993, be opened.
Turkey's Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic said in a written
statement on Friday: "The claims that the Alican Border Gate located
between Turkey and Armenia will be opened do not reflect the truth."
Bilgic said the opening of the gate would be considered by Turkey only
if the relations in Southern Caucasus started a normalization process.
"Armenia needs to show its will to begin normalizing its relations
with Azerbaijan and take the necessary steps accordingly," said Bilgic
