    Baku urges US pressure on Armenia to change status quo in Karabakh

    [translated from Azeri]


    [Presenter] The Baku government has reacted to US Secretary of State
    Hillary Clinton's demand made during her latest visit to Turkey that
    Turkish-Armenian relations be restored and the borders be opened.

    [Ali Hasanov, captioned as director of the public and political
    department at the Presidential Administration] There should be a
    demand for the restoration of all relations. Why should it be only the
    Turkish-Armenian border that should be opened and not the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani border as well? There is only one reason, only
    one obstacle to opening the border - Armenia should withdraw from
    occupied lands, withdraw its troops from there and should adopt a
    constructive position in the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh
    problem. Therefore, we believe that esteemed US Secretary of State
    Hillary Clinton is aware of these problems and takes them into
    account, and the pressure on Turkey will be considered not only as
    pressure on Turkey but also as serious pressure on Armenia to change
    the status quo. This will finally result in the opening of borders and
    other communication lines both in the South Caucasus and between
    Turkey and Armenia and in establishing an atmosphere of peace and
    accord in the region.
