Elnur Aslanov: “Turkey has repeatedly stated that the borders with Armenia can be opened only after the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict”
“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.”
