/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia should be ready for opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border at any moment, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat
and Political Office Director Kiro Manoian said during today's
discussion dedicated to the possible consequences of the opening of
the Armenian-Turkish border. In his words, the same story happened
with Cyprus when in 2002 Turkey in a split second allowed Cypriot
planes to cross its air space.
According to Manoian, presently the main reason for Armenia's blockade
is not the Armenian Genocide recognition. "Ankara just wants Armenia
to be a feeble state. Thus, even if the current issues are resolved
Turkey will find new reasons for maintaining blockade," he said
reminding that earlier the Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministers
held talks on gradual opening of the borders but the Turkish army
blocked the process. Mr Manoian reiterated that Armenia should not
make political concessions for the sake of economic welfare of the
republic, reports IA Regnum.
