Armenia-Turkey relations is the most critical issue for the Union of Armenians in Russia. Each Armenian is concerned, as it is a matter of national interests and security", UAR president Ara Abramyan stated at the Reception House, October 16. According to him, the positive aspect of the border opening is a resumption of communication means, that will assist the development of small and medium enterprises in Armenia.

“With border opening we will again prove the world who we are, and show our readiness for dialogue. We made a go-ahead in the relations with Turkey. Eventually, people link the betterment of their life with border opening,” Abramyan outlined.

According to him, there are no pros and cons in Armenia-Turkey relations’ normalization. “Today all Armenians think alike. There are sensitive people with their own opinions and approaches. The purpose of RA President’s visit was to hear out standpoint of Diaspora and make a decision based on that,” Abramyan stated, adding that to day Turkey did nothing for Armenians to confide in. It keeps up Armenians in blockade and always seeks to raise voice against Armenians. “It is naive to think Turkey will jeopardize Azerbaijan for the sake of Armenia,” Abramyan conclude
