They don't want the border to be reopened
Azerbaijanis and Turks living overseas are against the reopening of the Armenian-Turkish border. They have released a joint statement warning the presidents and governments of Azerbaijan and Turkey against the border reopening.
The Armenian-Turkish Protocols will affect the friendly relations of Turkey and Azerbaijan and strengthen Armenia's "non-constructive" position in the process of the Karabakh conflict settlement.
"Moreover, the normalization of relations will be advantageous to Armenia from the political and economic view of point and will reinforce Yerevan's position in the region. We are hopeful that Turkey's leadership will remain faithful to the pledges given to Azerbaijan and will not ratify the protocols unless the Karabakh conflict is resolved," reads the statement.
The authors of the statement think that the reopening of the border endangers the interests of Turks throughout the world.
