Abdulah Gul: Armenian-Turkish border will soon be opened

Armenia-Turkey

gul-sarkisyan/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.

Gul declared his country is serious to continue its strategy of having no problems with neighbors. “If the status of democracy rises in the country, all taboos disappear,” said Gul in view of Armenian and Kurdish conflicts. Regarding the ties with Armenia, Abdulah Gul said: “If we speak generally, the world is changing and Turkey is changing also.”
