YEREVAN, OCTOBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Today the Armenian-Turkish
protocols are one of the most important issues, and all Armenians
worldwide are concerned with it. Ara Abrahamian, the Chairman of
the Union of Armenians in Russia (UAR) and World Armenian Congress
(WAC) declared at an October 16 press conference. According to him,
everybody, including Armenians in Russia, the number of which is
nearly 2.5 million, is very much interested and concerned with this
issue. He said that many discussions on protocols were organized and
many approaches were presented in Russia, which is natural.

In A. Abrahamian’s opinion, in spite of concerns, nevertheless, there
are positive expectations from the protocols. "The Armenian-Turkish
border will be opened and Armenia will have an additional road. This,
in its turn, will contribute to development of small and medium-sized
business in the country," he said.

In A. Abrahamian’s words, it is the problem we should not speak
against or for but everybody should combine their efforts and try
not to be mistaken.
