Rumors about reopening of Armenian-Turkish border propaganda, ARF rep says
July 31, 2010 | 12:43
The Turkish Foreign Minister stated a few weeks ago that the
Armenian-Turkish border would not be reopened even for a while. What
is the reason for further reports is unclear, but it may be
propaganda, Giro Manoyan, head of the Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office,
Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), told NEWS.am.
The rumors about the Turkish authorities' intention to reopen the
border on the threshold of NATO maneuvers in Armenia are aimed at
confusing the Armenian and international public. `This is an attempt
to make an impression that the Turkish side is making positive steps
to normalize Armenian-Turkish relations. Although I do not rule it
out, the border is unlikely to reopen in the context of the Turkish
foreign minister's statement. The rest is anonymous information,'
Manoyan said.
As to the reason for the examination of road conditions on the
Armenian-Turkish border, Manoyan said: `I am not sure that the purpose
is to make any preparations by September. It is mere propaganda.'
IÄ?dır Governor ordered road conditions to be examined along the
Armenian-Turkish border. Some think the aim is to ensure Turkey's
participation in NATO maneuvers to be held in Armenia on September
11-17.
