Turkey does not intend to open its borders with Armenia until Armenia
withdraws its troops from occupied territories of Azerbaijan, said
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"We closed our borders after Nagorno-Karabakh’s occupation. As long as
the occupation continues, we will not open the borders," Erdogan said
following talks with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Wednesday.
