ARMENIAN OCCUPATION
[January 31, 2007, 17:32:44]
`The Turkish-Armenian border will not open until Karabakh's release
from Armenian occupation', Governor of the Kars municipality Naif
Alibeyoglu stated at the meeting with Azerbaijan media
representatives in Turkey.
At his words, in connection with the question of opening of border
with Armenia, some time back in Kars has been collected more than 50
thousand signatures. However, the people after serious protest has
refused this intention. Chairman of municipality has resolutely
declared, that while Karabakh, an integral part of Azerbaijan will
not be released from the Armenian occupation, the border will not be
opened.
Noting creation in Kars of the community uniting the people undergone
tortures by the Armenians, Mr. Alibeyoglu has told, that the purpose
is to publicize the truth about the atrocities made by Armenians. He
has regretfully noted, that in Armenia, the hatred to Turks is
propagandized at the state level.
Chairman of municipality, having told about history, economic
condition, trading opportunities of Kars, has emphasized, that the
Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi railway has great value for the province. He
also has expressed wish to open Baku-Kars-Istanbul airline.
