ANKARA, Turkey ‘ Turkey’s prime minister says Armenia must withdraw
from the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a day after the two
countries signed a deal to normalize ties.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey cannot take a "positive step" toward
opening the joint border with Armenia until Armenian troops leave the
breakaway enclave in Azerbaijan.
Armenia and Turkey agreed Saturday to establish diplomatic relations
and open their border, which was sealed after the 1993 Armenian
invasion of Nagorno-Karabakh, an area dominated by ethnic Armenians.
Azerbaijan has criticized the agreement saying it aggravates the
dispute.
Erdogan said Sunday a solution to the issue would also ensure that the
agreement signed with Armenia is easily approved by Turkey’s
parliament.
