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.”
