TUZMEN: `IF ARMENIA ENDS ITS AZERBAIJAN OCCUPATION AND GENOCIDE
CLAIMS, THEN WE CAN TRADE WITH IT’
State Minister Kursat Tuzmen and Turkish Union of Chambers and
Commodities Exchanges (TOBB) Chairman Rifat Hisarciklioglu said
yesterday that if Armenia wants to establish trade ties, then first
it should end its occupation in Azerbaijan and its genocide claims.
Speaking at a ceremony for the modernization of the Cilvegozu Border
Gate into Syria, Tuzmen said that if Armenia pulls its troops out of
Azerbaijan then the border gate between Turkey and Armenia could be
opened. /Aksam/
