/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The possibility of opening the borderline between
Turkey and Armenia is very high, Sinan Ogan said.
"Barack Obama had highlighted this question during his visit to
Turkey, so this will accelerate the efforts to that end. To give the
exact date is actually impossible. But we can say that this could
happen before September 2009," Sinan Ogan, director of the Turkish
Center for International Relations and Strategic Analysis (TURKSAM),
told PanARMENIAN.Net.
However, opening of the borderline with Armenia doesn’t mean that the
"Azerbaijan clause will come to an end," according to him.
"So Turkey doesn’t want to do it against Azerbaijan’s will. If it does,
this could bring undesirable circumstances. While Turkey wants to open
the borders it also wants to solve the dispute of Nagorno Karabakh,
so Turkey thinks the opening of the borderline will help the problem
resolution. But President Ilham Aliyev’s not coming to the Alliance
of Civilizations Conference could be understood as the reaction of
Azerbaijan to Turkey," Mr. Ogan said.
