Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. "We believe in the promise given by
Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Azerbaijani people.

We are sure that this promise will be kept," chief of socio-political
department of the President’s Administration Ali Hasanov said. Hasanov
underlined that it is not an ordinary statement, APA reports.

"So, we believe in it. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov
also made a statement about it. The Minister said the reopening of
Turkey-Armenia borders before the occupied Azerbaijani territories
are released contradicts Azerbaijan-Turkey relations and the interests
of the two countries," he said.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated several times, including in Azerbaijani
parliament in May that the borders with Armenia will not be reopened
unless Nagorno Karabakh conflict is solved.
