Since it was Turkey that closed the border, it is up to Turkey to open it. Turkey has no right to make any demands from Armenians in return for the opening of the border, Harut Sassounian, the Publisher of The California Courier newspaper said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Furthermore, Armenia's economy could be damaged by the opening of the Turkish border. The Armenian parliament should urgently pass a law prohibiting foreign entities from leasing or buying lands located in strategic areas of Armenia or containing strategic resources. Such a law would ensure the economic and strategic security of the Republic," he said.

At the same time he noted that it would be naive to suppose that soccer matches, cultural exchange programs or meetings of Armenian and Turkish NGO's could lead to reconciliation between the two countries period.

I just saw lately an endless line-up of Turkish trailers bringing merchandize in Armenia. We don't need to open the borders...
