Turkey to Open Border With Armenia After Karabakh Conflict Resolved

Turkey will open the border with Armenia after Yerevan settles the conflict with Baku over the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said Saturday.


"We do believe that the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh should end. And if that ends, clearly, Turkey would be more than happy to help Armenia and open door," Simsek said at the 62nd session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Istanbul, as broadcast by the Haberler online newspaper.

Simsek added that Turkey had "special relations" with Azerbaijan but would definitely mend ties with Armenia if Armenian conflict with Azerbaijan was resolved.
