UAR: We still have time to smooth ambiguities in Armenian-Turkish Protocols
Turkey has not done anything to win Armenia's trust. Nevertheless, the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) attaches importance to Yerevan-Ankara dialogue, UAR President Ara Abarhamyan told a press conference in Yerevan. "We welcome the possibility of opening Armenian-Turkish border which will help develop business in Armenia. Armenia has proven the world that it is ready to enter into dialogue with Turkey," Ara Abrahamyan said. In the meantime, UAR President believes that Armenia establishes ties with a state whose diplomacy has known no defeat over the past century. "We find that signed Protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties are contain ambiguities. We still have time to smooth them," Ara Abrahamyan noted.
UAR President finds that Armenian President should be ready to open border and have relevant plans in reserve. He also stressed the importance of Armenian people's being unanimous over national problems.
