Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu presented his ministry’s activities to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the country’s parliament, reports Haber1 website of Turkey.

During his presentation, the Turkish FM also responded to an MP’s query with respect to the likelihood of the reopening of the Armenia-Turkey border.

Davutoglu confirmed that they are carrying out activities to open the boundary.

“If we can convince Azerbaijan, we could make a surprise. Work is conducted on the border with Armenia. Our activities toward 2015 [i.e., the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide] are in progress, too.

“Our demand is that they [that is, the Armenian troops] leave Karabakh. If there is a progress in this matter, both the border and the railway will open. Of course, we want to do this together with Azerbaijan,” the Turkish FM said.   

Ahmet Davutoglu added that this matter will be one of the main topics of discussion during his forthcoming visit to Azerbaijan.
