ARMENIAN FM: `IF TURKEY WANTS TO MAKE A GESTURE, IT WILL OPEN ITS
BORDER’
Speaking at a press conference in Yerevan yesterday, Armenian Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian said that he had gotten Turkey’s invitation
to attend the reopening ceremony of the restored Akdamar Church in
Van, but that the closed border could create great difficulties for
Armenian visitors. `If Turkey really wants to make a gesture, it will
open its border,’ said Oskanian. He declined to say whether a
delegation would attend the ceremony or not. /Milliyet/
