Short-term border opening not to solve problems, Heritage party states
July 31, 2010 | 13:15
Despite Turkey’s participation in the forthcoming NATO exercise has
not been confirmed yet, opening of the border is not ruled out,
secretary of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Artyusha
Shahbazyan told NEWS.am.
He stressed that such actions cannot serve as a precedent for the
final opening of the border. This step is made within the general
framework of propaganda of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, he added.
Head of the Heritage parliamentary group Armen Martirosyan noted that
one should not expect border opening in the near future despite
studying of the road sections near the border. According to him,
opening of the border within the framework of NATO exercise cannot be
considered a solution to the existing problem.
As NEWS.am reported earlier, Igdir province Governor instructed the
experts to study a road section bordering with Armenian-Turkish
frontier. The measures may be undertaken to ensure Turkey’s
participation in the Armenia 2010 exercise to be held in Kotayk region
on September 11-17.
