The Armenian-Turkish border determined by Woodrow Wilson arbitration award which served as legal decision for a number of countries, including Armenia and Turkey," Ara Papian, head of Modus Vivendi research center, told PanARMENIAN.Net "It means that President Wilson's arbitration award doesn't only recognize the right of the Republic of Armenia to certain territories but also obliged Armenia to observe international norms," he said.

Recognition of an illegal bargain between Kemalist Turkey and Bolshevik Russia will be a violation of Armenia's territorial integrity," Mr. Papian resumed.
