Turkey refuses again to open its borders with Armenia

Mr. Namik Tahn, press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has commented the official Ankara's position in response to Armenia's offer to establish diplomatic relations and open borders. The Turkish Channel NTV has reported that N. Tahn, while expressing his regret that the president of Armenia had failed to answer to the proposal of the Turkish prime minister to set up a joint commission on investigation of the so-called genocide and to open the archives, said that in order to have the new Yerevan's proposal considered, the Armenian party should first of all demonstrate its constructive position in resolving bilateral and regional problems, and to follow international legal norms in settling the conflict with Azerbaijan.

At the same time, Mr. Namik Tahn has expressed regret in relation to statements of the Armenian lobby that after the next US parliamentary elections the Congress will recognize the genocide of Armenians, and then, the political circles of the United States will act more proactively in this direction. He has noted that this sort of actions is incompatible with the above proposals.
