Erdogan's visit to Azerbaijan emphasized the improving business and
trade ties, with the two countries signing eight deals yesterday
in Qabala.
Turkey will not open its border gates with Armenia unless the country
solves its problems with Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh
region, Erdogan said, speaking at a joint press conference with
Azerbaijani President İlham Aliyev after the signings.
A meeting of the Turkey-Azerbaijan High-Level Strategic Cooperation
Council, co-chaired by Erdogan and Aliyev, was held in Qabala
yesterday. Turkey and Azerbaijan signed eight cooperation agreements
in various fields, including energy, transportation, diplomacy,
culture and economy there, Anatolia news agency reported.
Turkey and Azerabaijan improved their energy ties with a deal earlier
this year to build the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP), a planned
project to carry Caspian gas to eastern Turkey, from where it might
also be transferred to European markets. This was followed by fresh
talks on adding Turkmen gas to the project with contributions from
Azerbaijan.
"Opening the border gates [with Armenia] is out of the question, unless
the Nagorno-Karabakh problem is solved," Erodgan said at the meeting.
