Dubai-based Azerbaijani Society has sent a statement to Turkish
President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Rejep Tayyip Erdogan.
The statement says we are very worried about recent reports on opening
of the borders between Turkey and Armenia. This action may possibly
contribute to developing the region in the future, but can not make
everyone forget genocide and other tragedies committed by Armenians
against the Turkish people.
It goes on to say taking into consideration Armenian savageries
against the Turkish people, as well as friendly and fraternal relations
between Azerbaijan and Turkey, the Turkish state should demonstrate
that opening of borders is inadmissible.
As long as the occupied territories of Azerbaijan are not liberated,
opening of borders between Turkey and Armenia could be perceived by the
international community as a betrayal of Azerbaijan`s basic interests,
the statement concludes.
