Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Khulus Kylydj announced yesterday:
"Turkey will open its border with Armenia only after the latter
withdraws its troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

Commenting on the announcement made by Serge Sargsyan in Nagorno
Karabakh the day before, saying that the opening of the border with
Armenia will have a positive impact on the settlement of Karabakh
conflict, Kylydj said: "Armenia doesn’t have the right to impose
any conditions upon Turkey. Turkey has always protected Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity and will always do so."

The Turkish diplomat also said: "If Armenia intends to establish
regular relations with neighbor countries, then it must firstly
review its invasion policy and withdraw its troops from the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan.
