Armenian Foreign Ministry commented on aspiration of Strong Turkey Party (GTP) leader to visit Armenia to discuss the Armenian-Turkish relations with Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian.

“Turkish political forces standing for normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations should address Turkish authorities which failed to ratify and implement the Armenian-Turkish protocols posing artificial obstacles,” said Karen Mirzoyan, the head of border countries’ department at the Armenian foreign office.  

As NEWS.am reported earlier, the leader of Strong Turkey Party (GTP) Tuna Beklevic and General Coordinator of Society and Democracy Association Baybars Orsek decided to organize “Open the border for future of Armenia and Turkey” conference in Yerevan on October 28. Presently they are in Yerevan and plan to meet with the journalists in the morning.

The GTP leader also has introduced a new initiative-establishment of Society of Turkish-Armenian friendship. The party of Tuna Beklevic announced that the society is created on the occasion of anniversary of the Armenian-Turkish protocols signed in Zurich. The organization’s goal is to reconcile two countries and show their inseparability and significance for each other. According to GTP leader, organization already comprises 500 members.

Earlier this month, the Turkish media spread information that that Tuna Beklevic with his party fellows crossed the Armenia-Turkey border along the River Akhuryan and entered Armenia. However, later Deputy Chief of Border Service, Russian Federal Security Service, Colonel Andrey Guzeyev refuted the reports.
