I don't like what has been coming out of Serge Sarkisyan's mouth lately. Whenever I see a quote of his anywhere, the words "sell out" immediately come to mind.
Letter of Defense Minister of Armenia, Serge Sarkisyan, published in “The Wall Street Journal” reads: “We intend to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey not bringing up genocide as principal condition”. Saying that “we want to look at the future”...No one can deny that opening up borders and being closer with Turkey will be great for Armenia, but I believe that Serge is merely trying to gain entry into the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railroad project, which is obviously very important to us economically.
...he stressed that remaining the issue of the genocide in agenda is necessary from the point of view of memory on past and prevention of such crimes against humanity.
But let's consider the fact that Turkey will always be closer with Azerbaijan than with us, which means even if the genocide is not a precondition - and I believe that it absolutely must be - then it will eventually have conditions of its own in its attempts to control Armenia and help out Azerbaijan. We can't sell out our struggle or our future!
