The border between Turkey and Armenia will be reopened after the parliamentary elections on June 7 and the adoption of constitutional amendments in Armenia. Azerbaijani Ambassador to Turkey Rashad Mammadov stated this in an interview with the Cumhuriyet daily of Turkey.

The ambassador noted that Azerbaijan is in constant contact with Turkey, and in parallel with the normalization of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, the process of normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations is also continuing. He added that it is expected that after the parliamentary elections to be held in Armenia on June 7, “the constitution of Armenia will eliminate territorial claims to Azerbaijan” through constitutional amendments.

After that, according to the plan presented by Mammadov, the peace treaty—which was previously agreed in the US—will be signed between Azerbaijan and Armenia. According to the Azerbaijani diplomat, at the end of this process, the Armenia-Turkey and Armenia-Azerbaijan borders will also be opened.
