Statement by Armenian and Turkish MFAs stab in Armenia's backApril 23, 2009 - 22:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The joint statement issued by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and Turkey said that Turkey and Armenia, together with Switzerland as mediator, is a stab in the back of Armenian public, according to an expert."Some high-ranking Armenian officials want to have the border with Turkey opened so much that they are ready to make any concession up to consigning the massacre of 1.5 million of Armenians into oblivion," Eduard Abrahamyan, expert at Mitq analytical center, told PanARMENIAN.Net "These people wouldn't scruple to undermine the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian leadership as if does everything possible to make Azerbaijan's best ally - Turkey - a key actor in Karabakh conflict resolution. It's not only illogical but also traitorous." "For Azerbaijan and Turkey, Nagorno Karabakh is an issue of prestige. For Armenia, it's national ideology," he stressed. "Venal politicians should be stopped. Otherwise, the struggle for international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and recognition of Nagorno Karabakh's independence will be discredited," Abrahamyan said.
