Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s statement that the
Armenian-Turkish border will not be opened before resolution of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can bring Armenian-Turkish talks to
a dead end, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Political Affairs and Hat Dat Office
director said.
"If Turkey sets preconditions, Yerevan can do the same," Kiro Manoyan
told a news conference in Yerevan today.
The most important thing is establishment of diplomatic
relations. Opening of the border is a secondary matter, according
to him.
"On the one hand, Turkey doesn’t want to spoil relations with Islamic
world; on the other hand, it doesn’t want to be Azerbaijan’s eternal
hostage," Mr. Manoyan said, adding that AFR Dashnaktsutyun has
developed a substantiation report on consequences of opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border.
