In and out of Turkey and its neighbours

Postby Mikethehack » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:24 pm

Turkey adds two more border gates.
First Turkish and Iraqi PMs decided to open a new border gate between Turkey and Iraq. Two days ago Turkish and Bulgarian leaders opened the second bordergate between Turkey and Bulgaria. Turkey’s border gates with Syria and Greece also need expansions. However border with Armenia remained the exception.

Nilgun Gulcan from ISRO says “Turkey’s borders are open, and most of them are over limitations. Turkey has border gates with Greece, Bulgaria, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan and Georgia. It also has sea port gates. And it has no problem with any neighbor except Armenia”.

According to Dr. Gulcan, the problematic side is Armenia:

“Turkey
has no problem with other neighbors, but Armenia has serious problems with its neighbors. The borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan are closed. Georgia and Armenian relations have been problematic since the beginning. The Armenian extremists does not recognize Georgia’s borders and Armenian officials have secretly supported the Armenian separatism in Georgia. The only neighboring country Armenia has relatively good relations is Iran. If you do not recognize existence of your neighbor, you cannot expect respect. Armenia does not recognize Turkey’s and Azerbaijan’s national borders. If there is no border, there will be no border gate. It is simple.”
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.
