    Yerevan expects EU to help to raise blockade of Armenia - President Sargsian

    YEREVAN. Nov 29


    Yerevan expects European partners to be consistent in the issue of
    opening the state border between Armenia and Turkey, Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsian said.

    "We expect EU members-states, as our partners, to be completely and
    consistently involved in the issue of eliminating the illegal blockade
    of Armenia by Turkey," Sargsian said when speaking at the Vilnius
    summit on Friday.

    Turkey still has challenges in opening the last closed European border
    section and introducing diplomatic ties with Armenia, the Armenian
    president's press office quoted Sargsian to Interfax as saying.

    Gradual adoption of the European values will help Turkey "to come to
    terms with its past," Sargsian said.

    "Currently thousand of Turks condemn the genocide of Armenians and
    stand by us in order to honor the memory of genocide victims. I think
    that ahead of the 100th anniversary of genocide ofArmenians the
    Turkish authorities should show will and give up the policy of
    denial," Sargsian said.

    The Armenian-Turkish border has been closed since 1933 on the
    initiative of Ankara due to the Karabakh conflict, in which Turkey
    supports Azerbaijan.
