The President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan says it is quite possible that
the closed Armenian-Turkish border will be opened. In his interview
given to Russian "Vesti", the President answered to the reporter's
question regarding the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border:
"I think it is possible.
As you know historic facts ties us with the Turkish people. Every
Armenian in the world has no doubts regarding the Genocide. Everybody
is sure. But the Turkish people and the Turkish authorities reject
that fact.
Irrespective of that fact we have taken the initiative and offered
them to set diplomatic relations without any conditions, to open
the border, and after, to create an inter-state committee to discuss
various question. As you know I have invited the President of Turkey
Mr. Gul to Yerevan and he has accepted my invitation. We have passed
a difficult but much learning path of negotiations and we are getting
closer to the finish. I hope that when I leave for Turkey to watch
the football match of Armenia-Turkey national teams the border will
be also open or it will be the eve of that. If I am not mistaken the
football match is dated on 7 October."
