Vafa Guluzade New roadmap may indicate the terms of opening borders
between Turkey and Armenia and the issue of Karabakh will be indicated
between the lines.

Political scientist Vafa Guluzade has commented on the upcoming
visit of Feridun Sinirlioglu, deputy foreign minister of Turkey and
personal envoy of prime minister to Azerbaijan immediately after his
Yerevan voyage.

"They seem to prepare to sign a new roadmap between Turkey and
Armenia and Erdogan wants to include the issue of Karabakh to this new
document. It seems that Sinirlioglu is preparing to visit Baku after
agreeing with Sargsyan in Yerevan", political scientist Vafa Guluzade
said commenting on the upcoming visit of the Turkish deputy FM to Baku.

"The new roadmap may indicate the terms of opening borders between
Turkey and Armenia and the issue of Karabakh will be indicated between
the lines.

However, Armenians will act skillfully, they will gain the opening
of borders but protract the liberation of occupied lands. Armenians
should first liberate lands. Otherwise, they will again use lie and
the issue of Karabakh will remain unsettled. Baku needs to explain
to Ankara that it should act like this while negotiating with Armenia.

Otherwise, the Karabakh issue will remain unsettled during the
Turkish-Armenian rapprochement", he said.
