PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's development perspectives seem slim
without the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and opening
of borders with Turkey, according to the first Armenian President,
Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader. As Levon Ter-Petrossian noted
in an interview with Moskovskie Novosti (Moscow News) newspaper,
commenting on Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's Armenia-Turkey
rapprochement policy, "the President's policy was correct. The issue
should be always kept on agenda."
According to ANC leader, before 1992, "Armenia and Turkey were ready
to establish diplomatic ties, yet the process hit a deadlock when
Armenian forces liberated Kelbajar region."
"Turks won't agree to resume rapprochement process until the Karabakh
conflict is resolved. Armenia-Turkey border will be opened the next
day after the conflict settlement. There are no other options,"
Ter-Petrossian stated.
