Mahcupyan: Turkey not to open border without Karabakh problem solution
The Senior Advisor to Turkish Prime Minister Etienne Mahcupyan said
the Turkey-Armenia border can open only in case of a package
settlement, Argumeti.ru said.
The matter concerns both the Turkish-Armenian and Azerbaijani-Armenian
relations, he noted.
Mahcupyan said that April 24, 2015 is a very symbolic date and the
approach of this date increases radicalism in the Armenian society
that takes an uncompromising approach to this issue.
The senior advisor said that he doesn't believe Turkey will take steps
in accordance with the demands of the Armenian side.
Turkey's making concessions in the issues of the Armenian Genocide and
opening of borders is impossible with such an approach of the Armenian
side, Mahcupyan said.
However, Turkey can take steps in this matter only a year later after
tensions ease, he added.
