/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani ruling party believes recent statements
by Turkish authorities on not opening borders with Armenia are sincere.

"Today Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said once again
that they will never take a step to the detriment of Azerbaijan’s
interests. We should wait for the further development of events,"
Azerbaijani ruling party Deputy Executive Secretary and MP Siyavush
Novruzov said.

Novruzov said there is no ground not to believe statements by Turkish
officials.

"Opening borders with Armenia is a serious issue for inter-state
and intergovernmental ties. An action should stand behind these
statements," he added.

He said if Turkish authorities do not keep their promise, serious
steps will be taken, Trend News reported.
