"Armenian will become a token coin"
"Whenever we speak of Armenian-Turkish relations and frontier reopening we should bear in mind that Turkey considers Armenia its number one enemy," advises Armenian MP Vardan Khachatrian.
After the frontier opening both Turkey and the West will double pressure on Armenia. Armenia will be unable to yield to foreign pressure and will lower its role in the Karabakh conflict resolution. As a result, Armenia will become a token coin within the realms of geopolitical interest for this or that country to fill its scanty liabilities."
The Armenian MP sees serious threats under the lines of the recently announced Protocols on Armenian-Turkish relations. "The devil is hiding in deflections and ambiguity."
After a mutual recognition of the countries' borders Karabakh will become an enclave in the territory of Azerbaijan, adds Vardan Khachatrian.
Besides, formation of a historical sub-commission will lead Armenia and other countries recognizing the Armenian Genocide to an "idiot situation."
Vardan Khachatrian is convinced that Turkey will destroy Armenian agriculture which is of great strategic importance for the country. He fears lest the frontier reopening should lead to the "loss of Armenian immunity."
Karabakh war veteran Vardan Malkhasian thinks the recent attempts towards Armenian-Turkish rapprochement speak of Turkey's perfidious policy. "We must annihilate Armenians with love," Mr. Malkhasian cited a Turkish official.
