    Khachik Ter-Ghukasyan: Armenian-Turkish border will
    remain closed unless Armenia stops endeavors for
    Genocide recognition
    05.12.2007 12:50 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Turkish public opinion and the
    Azeri factor prevent Turkey from opening the border
    while recognition of the Armenian Genocide may
    undermine legitimacy of the Kemalist state,' Professor
    of international relations and politics at the
    San-Andres University of Buenos Aires, Khachik
    Ter-Ghukasyan said in an interview with
    PanARMENIAN.Net.

    `The matter is not economy but mere politics. Armenia
    is too small to seek for product market in Turkey
    while Turkish goods can kill Armenia's economy.
    However, there is the European Union which demands
    open borders. It's noteworthy that the EU prefers the
    AKP to Kemalists. Nevertheless, the Armenian-Turkish
    border will remain closed unless Armenia stops
    endeavors for the Genocide recognition,' he said.
