    Turkey does not plan to open border with neighboring Armenia at current
    stage, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu said commenting on
    agreement reached between the two countries to resume diplomatic ties.

    Turkey and Armenia have agreed to start internal political
    consultations on the establishment of diplomatic ties and development
    of bilateral relations, said Monday a joint statement issued by Turkey,
    Armenia, and Switzerland.

    Political consultations to be completed within six weeks after that
    will be signed two protocols to be referred for approval by the
    parliaments of two countries, said in a press release the Turkish
    Foreign Ministry.

    The statement said internal political consultations over two protocols,
    which had been agreed on under Swiss mediation, would be completed
    within six weeks which would be followed by ratification at Turkish
    and Armenian parliaments.

    "Turkey's aim is to maintain the best relations with its neighbors and
    establish stable and comprehensive peace in the Caucasus," Davutoglu
    said in an interview with NTV television channel.

    He said the process of normalizing relations with Armenia is "an
    important part of the process launched."

    The foreign minister assured that Ankara "at each stage of the process
    (the normalization of relations with Armenia) will take into account
    the interests of Azerbaijan."
