"Relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan might become an example for
most states as they are based on historical roots, friendship and
brotherhood", said head of the center to study Turkic world, professor
of the Turkish university EGE Fikret Turmen, visiting Azerbaijan.

He said there are powers that can not reconcile with the good relations
between Azerbaijan and Turkey.

"Both peoples have recently voiced concern over the opening
of the Armenian-Turkish borders. In fact, this was Armenians
provocation. Nothing can spoil relations between the two
countries. Turkey might open borders only in the case Armenia withdraws
from the Azerbaijani lands", noted Turkmen.

Notably, in frames of the visit to Azerbaijan, the Turkish professor
held a meeting with Ali Ahmedov, deputy chairman and executive
secretary of the Yeni Azerbaijan party.
