Alexander Arzumanyan: open border doesn't imply establishment of diplomatic relations

PanARMENIAN.Net - The problem with recognition of the Armenian Genocide emerged the day Armenia proclaimed the issue as priority of its foreign policy, according to former Armenian Foreign Minister.



At that, Alexander Arzumanyan said that Armenian authorities should support Diaspora's worldwide campaign for Genocide recognition.



"Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is a necessity, as it's abnormal to have closed borders in civilized world. But open border doesn't imply establishment of diplomatic relations," he said.



As to Armenia-Turkish protocols, he said that the provision on formation of commission of historians arouses serious concerns.
