YEREVAN, APRIL 6, NOYAN TAPAN. According to Hayk Demoyan, the Director of the Museum-Institute of Armenian Genocide, today the West wishes to see the Armenian-Turkish border opened, which causes inconveniences for Turkey. As H. Demoyan reported at the April 6 press conference, the probability of border's opening causes problems in Turkish-Azeri relations. Besides, according to the speaker, the Turkish authorities have to somehow show to their own society that they do not yield to United States' pressure in the issue of opening the border. "In one word, the possibility of Turkey's manoeuvre in the issue of opening the border has become limited," H. Demoyan said. He added that European media criticized the statement of a Turkish official that the border cannot be opened until there is the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. According to H. Demoyan, by saying "opening of the border" Armenian society imagines a near campaign or attack by the Turks. While, in his words, only opening of two barriers is spoken about. H. Demoyan added that cargo transportations will be done and a contact with the outer world will be established thanks to opening of the two barriers. "The advantages of opening the border are huge for Armenia," he said meanwhile adding that the Armenians should be cautious. "Let us not be naive: Turkey has calculated all its steps in advance. We should not forget that Turkey is the ally of the country, with which we are at a non-announced war," H. Demoyan said.
