    15:56, 19 September, 2012

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS: Armenian-Turkish border is open
    from Armenian part: yet Turkey continues to keep it closed. Turkish
    Government holds pragmatic approaches pertain to border opening issue,
    whether Azerbaijani authorities in a bad sense have their impact.

    In the briefing with Armenpress, Turkish lawyer, writer and human
    rights defender Fethiye Cetin stated she is optimistic about the
    possible opening of borders. ''I dream one day the people of two
    countries break the barriers'' Cetin noted. Turkish Government
    continues to conceal Armenian Genocide facts and holds denial
    policy.''Due to similar policy Turkish people will continue to deny
    the undeniable. Though I consider they have already learnt that policy
    will not lead to desirable results and had to undertake some steps. A
    state power, will still hinders them to recognize Armenian Genocide''
    Cetin stated.

    Dwelling on the issue how she manages to reconcile two identities
    namely Armenian and Turkish the writer was quoted as saying.'' I had
    more than two identities. I am a citizen of the world. Whenever any
    racist attack occurs in any corner of the world it hurts my identity''
    our compatriot confessed.

    A recounting of her grandmother's story in the memoir entitled My
    Grandmother brought her fame. She is pondering about writing a new
    book yet her business forced her quit it. She was not able to finish
    it.In her capacity as a lawyer, Cetin has represented the family of
    murdered Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink.
