    PM: Border Gates will Open if Genocide Campaigns End


    "The Armenian Diaspora is making a mistake by putting the so-called
    Armenian genocide on the agenda," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan yesterday in response to a question from a member of
    the Commission of Foreign Affairs in the French Parliament about what
    Turkey thinks of the Armenian issue.

    "Progress on the relationship is difficult to make so long as the
    campaigns continue. The border gates will not be opened unless the
    campaigns are ended," emphasized Erdogan. The Prime Minister also
    reminded that Yerevan does not recognize the borders of Turkey.

    Erdogan is currently in the middle of a three-day official visit to
    France.
