Turkish side seems to have formed not a serious approach towards
Armenian-Turkish negotiations, Arpi Vardanyan, the director of Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh offices of Armenian Assembly of America told at
news conference.
According to her, after the Armenian President’s statement (I will
go to Turkey if the border is open or if we are on the threshold of
Armenia’s deblockading) Turkey should have taken the initiative to
make correspondent steps but nothing of a kind.
"First you think they are serious, but then you hear Turkish diplomats
making such statements on Armenian-Turkish negotiations and Armenian
President’s visit to Turkey that no diplomat should have made such
announcements," Mrs. Vardanyan said.
Arpi Vardanyan stated that their disposition towards the opening
of the Armenian-Turkish border is unchanged: neighbor states should
not have blocked borders in the 21st century; opening of the border
should not be linked with another problem – recognition of Genocide,
settlement of Karabakh conflict.
