Gul's visit to Yerevan won't damage Turkey-Azerbaijan relations
Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic said Azerbaijan will benefit from Gul's visit to Armenia.

"Dialog has always been an effective measure," he said when commenting on Azeri reaction to Gul's forthcoming visit to the Armenian capital.

"Turkey pursues a clear policy. This visit will not damage the Turkey-Azerbaijan relations. It will be just an ordinary soccer game," the Ambassador said.

He refuted hearsay that Gul's visit will be crowned with opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. "The issue won't be discussed unless the Karabakh problem is resolved," he said, the Azeri Press Agency reports.
