YEREVAN, JANUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: The failure of initiation in the
official web site of USA President organizing petition on opening
of Armenian-Turkish border will prove that Turkey is not capable to
open the border even for humanitarian purpose. This has been declared
by initiator of the petition Daniel Ioanissyan noting that even the
failure of the initiation will be beneficial for Armenia. "We will
be able to show the world that Turkey is not capable to open the
border even for humanitarian purpose," Armenpress quoted Ioanissyan
as saying. He also noted that there are already 500 signatures. The
deadline of the petition is February 4. Plan would facilitate the
Syrian-Armenians entry to their historical homeland.
A petition to open Armenian-Turkish border has been launched on the
U.S. President Barack Obama's administration official web page.
The participants of the petition want Turkey to open the border with
Armenia, at least for the Syrian-Armenian refugees. As "Armenpress"
reports, the application addressed to president Obama's administration
states: "The road from Syria to Armenia goes through Turkey, which
closed its border with Armenia in 1993."
It is stated in the petition: "Thus, we are kindly asking to call
Turkey to open the land border with Armenia (at least, for refugees)
without any preconditions. There shouldn't be any closed border in
the 21-st century."
In accordance with UN data Syrian conflict lasting more than 22 months
has caused the death of more than 60 000 people.
