"Borders between Turkey and Armenia might be opened within three
terms. Turkish President, prime minister and parliament leader have
announced these terms for several times.

"For opening of the borders Armenia should withdraw from alleged
genocide claims, refuse territorial claims against Turkey, and free
occupied Azerbaijani territories," Consul-General of Azerbaijan in
Gars has informed APA.

Expressing positive attitude to Gars municipality head Naif
Alibayoghlu’s opinion on necessity of opening of borders, Hasan
Zeynalov said that, there are forces in Turkey that are interested
in the opening of borders with Armenia.

It should be noted that Gars municipality’s head stated necessity
of opening of borders with Armenia in his interview given to Turkish
Daily News. He stressed that opening of borders will not only serve
development of Gars from economical view point, but also will be cheap
and reliable road for Turkish exporters for bringing their goods to
Middle Asia and Far East markets.
