No border to be open without concessions of Armenia in NKR issue

Today the Chairman of NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs Vardan
Ayvazyan and the Chairwoman of Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP)
Lyudmila Sargsyan met with the journalists.

Vardan Ayvazyan divided the Armenian ` Turkish relations into two
periods of time, the first one is pre-signing and the second one the
present `normal process’ during which `are discovered not only the
preferences of the both sides but also the main persuasive of signing
the documents.’

As for the Armenian side V. Ayvazyan assured that `everything is
clarified’ and the Turkish side is expecting different dividends both
in political and geopolitical sense.’

Lyudmila Sargsyan on her turn mentioned that the initiative diplomacy
with Turkey was to be a failure from the very beginning.
`We didn’t have to launch diplomatic relations with Turkey in this
stage’, – mentioned L. Sargsyan and added that it is Turkey that has
closed the border `let him be so kind to reopen it again.’

L. Sargsyan also added that the Turkish National Assembly will not
ratify the Armenian ` Turkish protocols.

`The border, surely, will not be open, until Armenia will take up
concrete steps and will make concessions.’

`The principle issues that were present before have remained the
same,’ Vardan Ayvazyan mentioned.
