/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish-Armenian border can be opened only after
Armenia "restores Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity," Turkish Trade
Minister said.

"We are open to developing relations with Armenia, to open borders,
and to develop trade," Kursad Tuzmen said during an Azeri-Turkish
business forum in Baku on Thursday.

"We do not oppose developing trade relations, which will have a
positive influence on the development of the whole region. However,
prior to this Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity should be restored,"
he added, Hurriyet reports.
