Baku-APA. Turkish-Azerbaijani Circles Federation addressed Turkish
president Abdullah Gul. While results and tragedies of Karabakh war
are before eyes, outside pressures on Turkey to open its borders with
Armenia are increased, the Federation said, the State Committee for
Diaspora Activity told APA. The Federation authorities said that no
problem would be resolved without returning of occupied territories
to Azerbaijan. "How can those, who call Eastern Anatolia the "Western
Armenia" and Agri Mountain the "Ararat" and those, who committed
genocide against the Turkish people for many times, to demand the
opening of borders?"

"Both Turkey and Azerbaijan have a historic responsibility to defend
their peoples. Turkey fulfilled this responsibility so far and will
fulfill it further. We, the citizens of Turkish Republic, have no doubt
that Turkey will do that. Azerbaijan is not alone. We have no right to
lose the belief and love of Azerbaijani people", said the Federation.
