Will Armenia compromise for opening of borders?

PanARMENIAN.Net - It is premature to speak about opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, but it can happen one day, independent Turkish political scientist Mehmet Bekaroglu said.



For a long period Armenia has been in partial economic blockade due to closed border with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Therefore, now it will make a compromise to have a sector opened, according to him.



"For Armenia, it is important not only to resume diplomatic relations but also to reopen borders between the two states, what will offer Armenia a chance to revive economy and it can even give up genocide claims for the purpose. Official Ankara have stated repeatedly that the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and giving up policy calling for international recognition of the genocide in the Ottoman Empire during World War I when some 1.5 mln people were killed, can serve as a ground for restoring diplomatic relations with Armenia," Bekaroglu said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
