YEREVAN ATTITUDE TO PROSPECTIVE OPENING OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER "POSITIVE, BUT MISTRUSTFUL"
"We positively assess the opportunity of opening the Armenian-Turkish border. At the same time we are somehow mistrustful towards the prospects," - said press secretary of Armenian president Ashot Kocharian. In his words, discussions are held and varying points of view are expressed over the issue. The press secretary of the Armenian leader did not rule out the opportunity of new developments in that direction, taking into consideration the fact that a meeting of Armenian and Turkish foreign ministers was planned within the framework of the 58-th session of the UN General Assembly being held in New York.
