Turkish newspaper Zaman supposes that the Turkish-Armenian border
might be opened as early as 2009. If Armenia produces a viable plan
to withdraw its forces from Azeri territory Turkey will be ready to
take the appropriate steps.

The newspaper hopes that the current confrontation will not prevent
the people of the region from finding a peaceful solution to
misunderstandings. The South Caucasus needs guarantees of permanent
stability and the people need peace and welfare, states the newspaper.
