Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The roundtable devoted to opening of the
border between Turkey and Armenia was organized by the Parliament of
Azerbaijan in Baku.

Atilla Gaya, Deputy of Turkish Grand National Assembly representing
the Nationalist Movement Party (NMP), said all the issues, including
international ones, should be approached to not only from the point
of view of Turkey and Azerbaijan, but also all the Turkic people.

Sabir Rustamkhanli, Deputy of the Azerbaijani Parliament and Chairman
of Azerbaijan Civil Solidarity Party, noted that Turkey should
take into consideration Azerbaijan’s position in the development of
relations with Armenia.

"In 1828 Tsarist Russia created an artificial country named
"Armenia" between Turkey and Azerbaijan and now Armenians occupying
Karabakh declare the whole world about existence of the two Armenian
states. Their purpose now is to take Javakheti away from Georgia
with the purpose of creating the Armenian Union and the idea is
supported by western world," Rustamkhanli said. He supported Turkish
independent policy.

"If President of Turkey Abdullah Gul goes to Armenia that means he
either disrespects the Turkic world or Turkey does not have an own
independent policy and it is managed by external forces." Rustamkhanli
emphasized.
