AZERI HEAD REFUTES NEWS ON TURKEY’S INTENTION TO OPEN ITS BORDER WITH ARMENIA

Azeri president Heydar Aliyev has refuted the reports of media on Turkey’s intention to open its border with Armenia. As Aliyev stated upon his return from Istanbul, he had spoke with the Turkish president about that issue and found out that such reports were groundless. According to Aliyev, the statements that were arrogated to him on that after putting the Baku-Tbilisi-Jeyhan oil pipeline into operation, the Baku-Supsa one would be blocked up, do not correspond to the reality either. As it became apparent, the president just made fun of that.
