ANKARA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DECREASED ACTIVITY IN NEGOTIATION PROCESS
- “The Armenian-Turkish talks pursued quite an active course until recently, and I hoped they would eventually lead to diplomatic ties establishment and opening of border. But that didn’t happen,” CIMERA Geneva Centre Representative, Viken Cheterian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. Cheteryan finds Ankara responsible for the low activeness observed in negotiation process. “Turkish Government’s constant assertions that no opening of border is possible without Karabakh conflict settlement are first of all intended for domestic consumption. The same is true for Azerbaijan although Ilham Aliev’s situation is much worse. Opening of the border will lift the blockade of Armenia compelling Azerbaijan to new concessions in Karabakh conflict,” Cheterian stressed.
