    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to visit
    Azerbaijan in May, Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilij told
    reporters.

    "The issues that that both countries are interested will be discussed
    during the meeting," Kilij said.

    Turkey and Armenia are holing talks to re-open borders.

    Turkish media reported that the "Road Map" singed between Ankara and
    Yerevan comprises 5 paragraphs. According to the document, Armenia
    must accept the Kars agreement signed between Turkey and USSR in
    1921. A joint commission of historians must be set up to investigate
    Armenians' "genocide" claims and the third country can join the
    commission. The Armenia-Turkey borders will be opened and relevant
    documents will be signed to launch trade relations. Direct diplomatic
    relations will be established after Armenia and Turkey accredit their
    ambassadors to Georgia to Ankara and Yerevan mutually. Parliament will
    directly discuss the issues of the "road map" which must be confirmed
    by any legislative body. Although the document does not comprise the
    Karabakh issue, the two countries will normalize ties simultaneously
    with the resolution of the conflict.

    Turkey closed borders with Armenia in 1993 shortly after Armenia
    occupied Azerbaijani lands.
