ANKARA (AA) – Prof. Dr. Nizami Caferov, the chairman of Ataturk Center
in Azerbaijan, said that the only issue in which Armenia was interested
actually is the opening of border pass between Turkey and Armenia,
adding that Azerbaijan opposed to the opening of the border gate.

An international symposium was held in Ankara to discuss “allegations
on the so-called Armenian genocide and the Realities of Azerbaijan”.

Delivering a speech at the symposium, Caferov noted that if the border
gate between Turkey and Armenia was opened, Armenia would not expend
any efforts to solve the Upper Karabakh problem.

Caferov indicated, “Azerbaijan should solve this problem on its
own. However, if Turkey opens the border gate, it cannot.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
