    Time for opening Armenian-Turkish border hasn't come yet
    05.09.2008 15:53 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ A visit is not beginning of talks, said Svante
    Cornell, research director of the Stockholm Central Asia-Caucasus
    Institute.

    It should be taken as a gesture, according to him.

    `Turkey will not change its tough policy toward Armenia and the time
    to open the border with Armenia hasn't come yet. Turkey made this move
    not on its own accord, but under U.S. pressure, as the war in Abkhazia
    and South Ossetia seriously affected Armenia's economy,' Cornell said.

    `West understands that only restoration of relations with Turkey can
    help to revive economy in Armenia,' he added, Trend Azeri news agency
    reports.
