Neither Russia nor U.S. will help to open Armenian-Turkish border
Neither Russia nor the U.S. will help to open the Armenian-Turkish border, Armenian President Robert Kocharian said in an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE.

"Our relations with Turkey are not simple and they are even more complicated by the facts of our common history. The most reasonable thing to do would be to resume direct contacts. But there is no light at the end of the tunnel yet," the Armenian President said.

The Armenian-Turkish border was closed in 1993 over the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh.
