14 January 2010 [14:00] - Today.Az

Day.Az interview with Vahit Erdem, head of Turkey’s delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, member of Turkish parliament from the ruling AK party and former NATO PA deputy chairman.

In your opinion, are Turkey-Armenia protocols likely to be ratified and the borders between the two countries to be opened this year?

Turkish leaders have reiterated on many occasions that Turkey-Armenia relations cannot be established till the Karabakh conflict is resolved within Azerbaijan’s interests. Turkey will do nothing contrary to Azerbaijan’s interests in order to establish relations with Armenia. Turkey is very sensitive to the issues related to Azerbaijan. The Turkish nation is committed to protecting Azerbaijan’s interests."
