/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The arrival of Turkish President Abdullah Gul
in Yerevan was symbolic, Armenian ex-Foreign Minister and head of
Civilitas Foundation Vartan Oskanian told a news conference today.

"It’s worth mentioning that Turkey gained more than Armenia from
Gul’s visit to Yerevan. Actually, it posed as a regional leader,
capable to resolve conflicts in the South Caucasus. However, Turkey
by no means can be a mediator in the Nagorno Karabakh process, since
it is a party concerned. I think Armenia will never accept Turkey as
an intermediary," he said.

As to the possibility of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border,
Mr Oskanian said, "It will be a victory of Turkish diplomacy but
opening of the border presupposes a number of conditions Armenia will
never accept, specifically the Armenian Genocide issue and Nagorno
Karabakh. The talk about formation of a commission of historians
is beneath criticism. Armenian people will never renounce their
principles."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
