Process of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation is the White House's project,
said deputy chairman of the Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems,
Araik Sarkisian. The U.S. has launched the process of normalisation of
relations to solve their geopolitical goals in the region, according
to Araik Sarkisian.
He also pointed that the U.S. experts consider the reopening of the
railway links Kars-Yerevan-Nakhichevan-Baku and Kars-Baku-Kazakh as
the additional opportunity to kick around troops to Afghanistan, and,
probably in future to Iran in case of war.
"Washington urgently needs to open Armenia-Turkey land border. The
White House, actually, isn't going to recognize the Genocide, it is
just an instrument to suppress Turkey," he said.
According to Araik Sarkisian, the Armenia-Turkey border's opening will
give nothing to Armenia as there is an air connection, and there are
other ways of communications with Turkey. He pointed out that Armenia
invested in Turkey's economy nearly $400 million in 2009.
