"Turkey proposes to form a commission to study historical facts. We do not mind it but the land border between our countries should be opened first. Otherwise, the commission may become a tool of abuse and protraction of the issue for many years," Serzh Sargsyan said at a meeting with the Armenian community of Moscow, the RA leader's press office reported. "I intend to take new steps toward establishment of relations with Turkey.
