"If a political decision is taken to open the borders, all other
questions will be easily solved," Director of the Caucasus Institute
Alexander Iskandaryan told a press conference today. In his opinion,
serious changes are taking place today. The discussion of the Armenian
Issue in Turkey is also an important factor. The genocide had never
been spoken about in the neighbor country before.
US President Barack Obama visits Turkey. Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian is in Istanbul to participate in the "Alliance of
Civilizations" forum. Foreign media assert the border is going to be
open soon and Turkey and Armenia have concluded a secret agreement
to establish diplomatic relations.
According to Alexander Iskandaryan, serious steps are being taken
toward establishment of the Armenian-Turkish relations and there might
be some agreement or statement, which would outline the procedure of
opening of the border.
Director of the Caucasus Institute considers some level of diplomatic
relations could be established. "It's clear that we are in a very
important stage. There will be some changes before April 24," he said.
Important events are taking place, but the border will hardly be
opened before April 16, according to Iskandaryan.=2 0In any event,
the opening of the border will be generally positive, since having
closed borders in the 21st century is not understandable.
