/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The problem with recognition of the Armenian
Genocide emerged the day Armenia proclaimed the issue as priority of
its foreign policy, according to former Armenian Foreign Minister.
At that, Alexander Arzumanyan said that Armenian authorities should
support Diaspora’s worldwide campaign for Genocide recognition.
"Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is a necessity, as it’s
abnormal to have closed borders in civilized world. But open border
doesn’t imply establishment of diplomatic relations," he said.
As to Armenia-Turkish protocols, he said that the provision on
formation of commission of historians arouses serious concerns.
