/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Sooner or later, Turkey will have to open the
Armenian-Turkish border', National Assembly Vice Speaker Vahan
Hovhannisian said Tuesday during his meeting with the participants of
the Third Pan-Armenian Youth Jamboree. `Turkey aspires to join the
European Union', Hovhannisian said. `Armenia should work to make the
border issue raised before Turkey on that country's way to join the
EU.' He added that the border is open from the Armenian side, and
that there is nothing Armenia has to offer to Turkey for the opening
of the border. `We cannot give up what Turkey demands. It demands
that Armenian forces leave Karabakh. Also, Armenia cannot drop its
demand of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. That process is
in place even without Armenia's participation. For example, Armenia's
role in the recognition of the Genocide by Venezuela was minimum', he
said, IA Regnum reports.
