Davutoglu hints at possibility of opening border with ArmeniaNovember 7, 2013 - 15:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu hinted at a possibility of opening the Armenian-Turkish border during a meeting of the parliamentary committee on foreign relations. According to Akşam newspaper, Nationalist Movement Party member Sinan Ogan asked the minister whether the works carried out near the Armenian-Turkish border in Igdir province, as well as railway repair might imply opening of the border. Davutoglu confirmed the possibility of opening the border before 2015 and said he will visit Baku in the near future to discuss the issue with the Azerbaijani leadership. At the same time, he again linked opening of the border with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, saying: “If Armenia withdraws troops from Karabakh, we will open the border and restore railway communication.” Related links: Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
