Discussions on the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations were held at the headquarters of the People’s Party
of Armenia. The participants discussed the shadow aspects of the
Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process.

According to most of the speakers, the ratification of the protocols
is dangerous in the current stage. MP Vardan Khachatryan considers
that there are no serious professional calculations about the economic
consequences of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.

"The Government has not presented detailed calculations, which
can be viewed as well-grounded arguments. We have no scientific
grounds. On the other hand, the level of trust between the parties is
the most important in similar cases. All the talks about the possible
developments can rest on a single factor – mutual trust between the
parties. But do we have that trust?
