/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The dividing line between the Eastern and Western
Armenia can’t be considered the Armenian-Turkish border, according
to Armen Aghayan, member of Armenian Choice party’s initiative group.

He said he doesn’t mind establishment of checkpoints at the border
but recognition of Turkey’s hegemony over the historic Armenian lands
is unacceptable.

"Armenia should only demand lifting of the blockade imposed by Turkey,"
Aghayan told reporters today.

"The process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations will
be suspended if no progress is fixed in Karabakh talks. Although the
problem is not mentioned in the Protocols, it is being discussed. This
becomes evident judging by Azerbaijani high ranking officials’
statements," he said.
