When the citizens of Armenia and Turkey will be able to pass the
border, Italian "La Stampa" requested Turkish President Abdulah Gul.
"That obstacle will be soon resolved. Of course we’ll need some
"technical" period as the document should pass a discussion stage in
the parliaments of the both countries. Then we are going to appoint
Ambassadors and the land border will be opened. It’s long since the
air border is open," Gul told Italian paper. Gul declared his country
is serious to continue its strategy of having no problems with the
neighbors. "If status of democracy rises in the country all taboos
disappear," said Gul in view of Armenian and Kurdish conflicts.
Regarding the ties with Armenia Abdulah Gul said: "If we speak
generally, the world is changing and Turkey is changing also."
