US STATE DEPARTMENT’S KENNEDY TO ARRIVE IN ANKARA TODAY

US State Department Undersecretary Laura Kennedy is due today to
arrive in Ankara to meet with Turkish officials to discuss a number
of matters, including the so-called Armenian genocide issue, Cyprus,
and the Caucasus. During her two-day stay in Turkey, she is expected
to urge Ankara to open its borders with Armenia and to stress that
closed borders aren’t useful for either side. However, Turkey doesn’t
want to open its borders to Armenia before it takes concrete steps
for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabagh dispute. The US sources
said that the genocide issue was up to the historians, but that the
issue also had a political dimension. Recently the US administration
urged Armenia to recognize its borders with Turkey. /Cumhuriyet/

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
