OPENING OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER DEPENDS ON A “SMALL COUNTRY”?
- Turkey’s decision to reconstruct an Armenian Church and even hoist a cross on it will not influence the process of reconciliation between the two countries, an Armenian expert said. “The Church will not function since it will have no flock,” Sevak Sarukhanyan, deputy director of Noravank research center, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. As to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s recent statement that he will attend the football match in Turkey this October only in case the border is open, it’s quite justified, according to him. “It’s clear that Turkey is not going to open this border. This move does not depend on Turkey or Europe. It depends on a “small country” named Azerbaijan,” Sarukhanyan underscored. “Azerbaijan doesn’t stop blackmailing Turkey. That is why the Armenian-Turkish relations see no progress,” he said.
