Yesterday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, commenting on
President Serzh Sargsyan’s declaration that he would only travel to
a football in Turkey next month if there is progress towards opening
the border, stated, "~TAsking for certain conditions to be met in
order to decide to come is not the right way to conduct international
relations anymore."

Mr. Erdogan made the comment during a policy address at Princeton
University in New Jersey. Turkey’s prime minister said that nations
should solve their problems based on trust rather than threats and
he would like Armenia’s president to travel to Turkey for the match
pitting the national teams of Turkey and Armenia.
