"Whenever we speak of Armenian-Turkish relations and frontier
reopening we should bear in mind that Turkey considers Armenia its
number one enemy," advises Armenian MP Vardan Khachatrian.
After the frontier opening both Turkey and the West will double
pressure on Armenia. Armenia will be unable to yield to foreign
pressure and will lower its role in the Karabakh conflict
resolution. As a result, Armenia will become a token coin within the
realms of geopolitical interest for this or that country to fill its
scanty liabilities."
The Armenian MP sees serious threats under the lines of the recently
announced Protocols on Armenian-Turkish relations. "The devil is
hiding in deflections and ambiguity."
After a mutual recognition of the countries’ borders Karabakh will
become an enclave in the territory of Azerbaijan, adds Vardan
Khachatrian.
Besides, formation of a historical sub-commission will lead Armenia
and other countries recognizing the Armenian Genocide to an "idiot
situation."
Vardan Khachatrian is convinced that Turkey will destroy Armenian
agriculture which is of great strategic importance for the country. He
fears lest the frontier reopening should lead to the "loss of Armenian
immunity."
Karabakh war veteran Vardan Malkhasian thinks the recent attempts
towards Armenian-Turkish rapprochement speak of Turkey’s perfidious
policy. "We must annihilate Armenians with love," Mr. Malkhasian
cited a Turkish official.
