The game around the opening of Turkish-Armenian border was launched
by neither turkey nor Armenia, said head of the Center for Political
Innovation and Technology Mubariz Ahmedoglu at a press conference
Wednesday.

"This is a game of the United States. Washington has long sought to
do so, but could not make a decisive step in this direction. Now the
United States, where the Armenian lobby is controlled entirely by
the White House, is ready to make their plans come true", he said.

On the other hand, he said members of the Nurchular movement are also
for the opening of the Turkish-Armenian border.

"Through the recent years, no official representative of Turkey dpaid
a visit to Armenia. Only university professor Ishik Bulent Aras and
Turkish writer Adnan Oktar, who are ideologists of the Nurchular
movement visited Yerevan. Speaking in Armenia, Oktar loudly declared
that the process of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can not and
should not be an obstacle to the warming of relations between Ankara
and Yerevan, and that the Turkish-Armenian border should be opened,
regardless of whether the Karabakh problem is solved or not", said
M. Ahmedoglu.

According to political scientist, Russia is negative about the possible
opening of the Turkish-Armenian border.
