"We’ve started a meaningless and a very complicated process," told
journalists leader of the Modern Times Party Aram Karapetian, keeping
in view the Armenia-Turkey reconciliation.

"This process will lead to more antagonistic relations with Turkey as
well as with Azerbaijan," he said, mentioning the recent statements
by Turkish parliamentarians and Prime Minister to deport illegally
living in Turkey Armenians.

When asked what Armenia gained in this process of reconciliation, Aram
Karapetian said that "the border is still closed, relations are still
at sword’s points, and Nagorno-Karabakh may face war." According to
politician, Armenia gained nothing; moreover, Armenia is more coming
to a full.
