Each State Should Work for Karabakh Settlement
Each state, each interested party should work for peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. This refers first of all to Armenia, as well as other interested parties, including the EU, stated Turkish Ambassador to Baku Turan Morali. «Only after settlement of disputed issues the issue of opening the Armenian-Turkish border may be considered,» Turkish Ambassador said.

«How can opening the border, that is not recognized by Armenia itself, be demanded?» Morali asked. He underscored the issue may not be raised before the EU or any other organization. «Let Yerevan officially recognize the border with Turkey first,» the Turkish diplomat concluded, reports Trend.
