Will Kars Treaty be rescinded?
"Armenian-Turkish agreements will rescind the Kars Treaty of 1918 and endanger Nakhijevan's status," Turkey's former Ambassador to the USA, Republican People's Party MP Sukru Elekdag said in an interview to opposition daily Yeni Musavat.
In particular, the Turkish diplomat underlined that normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations and the border reopening will call Nakhijevan's status in question.
Sukru Elekdag's words raise heated discussions among Azerbaijani political circles.
"Sukru Elekdag is a literate and sophisticated person. If he states that the Kars Treaty will lose its force, he warns Azerbaijan against losing Nakhijevan," says Azerbaijani politician Vafa Guluzade.
The latter says Armenians will seize Nakhijevan at the first opportunity.
"I don't think the border will be reopened. Even if it is, Armenians will continue to hate Turks," said Mr. Guluzade.
Vafa Guluzade also called on official Baku to discuss the Ambassador's concerns on a state level.
The Azerbaijani diplomat added that Turkey is forced to open the border and is pressed by the Armenian lobbies of the USA.
"The game Turkey is playing is quite serious but I think our brothers know what they are doing," concluded Vafa Guluzade.
