Armenian-Turkish protocols conceal terms of the Treaty of Kars

PanARMENIAN.Net - Rehabilitation of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey will result in an open border only between the two countries and nothing else for Armenia, Armen Rustamyan , representative of the supreme body of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun told reporters.



He informed, that the border Armenia has with Turkey today is the Turkey's border with the Soviet Union. The Armenian-Turkish border was recognized only by the Treaty of Kars and the ultimate goal of Turkey at the moment is to ratify that treaty.



"Turkey wants to get from protocols the same it expected from the Treaty of Kars, and this is the recognition of the Armenian-Turkish border," Armen Rustamyan stressed.



Ankara seeks to formalize the Armenian-Turkish relations in its favor in a veiled form. "Of course, the international community welcomes the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, because all derive benefit from it, except Armenia," Armen Rustamyan said.



He also stressed that Armenian economy is not ready to the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border and would face serious challenges if the border opens.
