TURKISH MPS DEBATE OVER POSSIBLE OPENING OF TURKEY-ARMENIA BORDER
Ankara, April 8 (AzerTAc). Possible opening of Turkey-Armenia border sparked heated debates at the meeting of the Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Commission between commission`s chairman Murat Mercan and MPs.
MPs representing the Republican People`s Party of Turkey stressed the importance of adopting a resolution urging not to open border with Armenia because Armenia did not free Azerbaijani lands and give up its “genocide” claims.
Commission chairman left the meeting saying he is not authorized to put the resolution to vote
Meeting participants decided to call Foreign Minister Ali Babacan to clear some things up with regard to border issue.
MPs Canan Aritman, Shukru Alakdag, Onur Oymen and Ilhan Kesici demanded a meeting with the government over opening of border.
