Turkey not to open borders with Armenia: former FM

08 July 2009 [11:03] - TODAY.AZ
Turkey will not open borders with Armenian without the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Turkish former Foreign Minister Hikmet Chetin said.

"Turkey will never take steps which can damage Azerbaijan," he told journalists at the international conference on the 90th anniversary of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on July 8.

Chetin said Azerbaijan and Turkey are working closely together to preserve the security and stability in the Caucasus.

"We are working against the conflicts and wars for security in the region," he said.

Armenia should understand that it can not dominate in the occupied Azerbaijani territories and it should withdraw troops and comply with the UN resolutions, Chetin said.


The problem of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is one of difficult ones for the Azerbaijani diplomacy, he added.
