/Public Radio/ Asked by Italian “La Stampa” when the citizens of Armenia and Turkey will be able to pass the border, Turkish President Abdulah Gul said: “That obstacle will be soon resolved. Of course we’ll need some “technical” period as the document should pass a discussion stage in the parliaments of both countries. Then we are going to appoint Ambassadors and the land border will be opened. It’s long since the air border is open,” Gul told Italian paper.

“The growth of tension around the Karabakh conflict would certainly be the most unwanted outcome. It will be the most undesirable development for Nagorno Karabakh, Armenia and the whole region. But the Republic of Armenia cannot stay indifferent to the fate of the people of Nagorno Karabakh. That is why the President of Armenia and other officials have declared on different occasions that we are responsible for the security of the people of Nagorno Karabakh,” Armenia President’s Spokesman Samvel Farmanyan said in response to the recent bellicose statement of the Azerbaijani President.

In case of the above-mentioned developments there are accepted practices in the world. “Let’s suppose that the Republic of Armenia recognizes the independence of Nagorno Karabakh with all the ensuing consequences. Secondly, the Republic of Armenia might sign a cooperation agreement with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. There are options, and I’m confident that Armenia will use those options separately or altogether. It should be noted that Armenia has not recognized the independence of Nagorno Karabakh only not to hinder the peace talks. Should the peace talks suspend and military actions start, nothing will prevent Armenia from recognizing the independence of Nagorno Karabakh,” Samvel Farmanyan said.
