ArmInfo. "Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will probably visit Turkey
in October",- Director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan
said when replying to ArmInfo correspondent.

According to him, Serzh Sargsyan’s requirement to Turkey to open the
border in October is an attempt of pressure. "This is an ordinary
diplomatic game aiming to press the parties",- Iskandaryan said. He
added that the statements made by Turkey are also an attempt to press
Armenia. "Actually, Sargsyan said that another step is needed to ensure
progress for the process",- the expert said. He added that any measure
by the Turkish party, for instance, temporary opening of the border
at the moment of Armenian delegation’s visit to Turkey will show the
development of the process. "The abrupt suspension of the process
is beneficial to neither of the parties and will have a bad effect
on the image of the given party in the international community",-
the expert concluded.

To recall, the football match of the Armenian and Turkish national
teams will take place in Turkey on October 14.
