AZERBAIJAN`S BIGGEST YOUTH UNION ADDRESSES TURKISH LEADING PARTIES AND YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS

Baku, 8 April (AzerTAc). Azerbaijan`s biggest youth organization “Irali” Public Union has sent an address to heads of Turkish leading parties and youth organizations concerning the issue of opening of Turkey-Armenia borders.
Recalling the slogan “one nation, two states”, the Azerbaijani youths noted that Azerbaijan and Turkey are ‘fraternal countries’, and their relationship has ‘deep historical roots’. The union expresses its concern over the circulations about opening of Turkey-Armenia borders in local and foreign media, saying these steps are directed to weaken influence of Turkey and Azerbaijan, leaders of the Turkic world, in the region and the world.
“As the biggest youth organization of the country, “Irali” Public Union declares that even a little probability of opening of borders with Armenia, which does not leave its aggression position and “genocide” claim, as well as occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan`s lands and caused one million Azerbaijanis become refugees and IDPs, rightly worry us,” the address said.
According to youths, opening of Turkey-Armenia borders can have a negative impact on Azerbaijani-Turkish relations.
“Irali” Public Union hopes the Turkish government will once more thoroughly and deeply think before making a decision, and undertake a step complying with common advantage and interests of both countries,” the address said.
