Georgian Nationalists against Armenian-Turkish border opening

June 8, 2009 - 21:32 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Due to Americans' great support, Armenia and Turkey agreed upon opening interstate border, Georgian National Front Chairman Nodar Natadze said.



Such decision aroused Georgia's strong protest. Azerbaijan perceived Turkey's step as betrayal by a blood-related brother. Thereafter, Turkey reviewed its stance, and now refuses to open border unless Armenia withdraws its troops from Karabakh. But such option too, is beneficial to Russia. That's first of all because Americans are also interested in border opening. Secondly, such opening will narrow the Caucasian corridor lying between East and West, but Armenia will be in Russia's limelight as before. And thirdly, Armenian corridor to Black Sea is advantageous to Turkey, as it will weaken Armenia's desire to pave way to Sea and achieve peace via Turkey» Akhali Taoba quotes Natadze as saying.
