Turkey's Prime Minister says Turkey could open its border with Armenia if Armenia withdraws its forces from the Azeri enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. Recep Tayyip Erdogan says in a speech early Saturday that Turkey could open its border if Armenia lifts its «occupation» of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 in support of Azerbaijan during its conflict with Armenia. Turkey backs Azerbaijan's claims to Nagorno-Karabakh, Associated Press reported.
