Very often Turks and Azeris say that unless the Karabakh issue is settled and Armenian forces quit the territory of Karabakh the prospects of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border and establishment of relations are quite vague, NKR Foreign Minister Arman Melikian stated in his interview with H2 Armenian TV Channel. "I think statements of the kind are used as a cover for other interests. I am convinced Turkey uses the blockade of the Armenian border for obtaining some advantage in the negotiations with the EU member-states, which from their part raise the issue of the Armenian Genocide. Thus the EU-Turkey negotiations focused on two issues vital for Armenians. We should try not to indulge in illusions and use every possibility ", NKR Foreign Minister said.
