WASHINGTON TO DEMAND TURKEY TO OPEN BORDER WITH ARMENIA



To control, or dominate Iran, Mr. Bush has to encircle it: Afghanistan to the East, Turkey/Azerbaijan to the North, Iraq to the West, the South are already U.S. stooges. Pipelines, in effect, will become the new Berlin Wall. See the map attached below.

This probably is why Bush has demanded Turkey open its border with Armenia. Armenia being situated between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Bush wants Armenia in order to surround Iran, Armenia being on Iran’s northern border. He needs to get the Russians out of Armenia.

Note: In 1997, Armenia and Russia signed a friendship treaty, under which they provided for mutual assistance in the event of a military threat to either party. The pact also allows Russian border guards to patrol Armenia’s frontiers with Turkey and Iran.

WASHINGTON TO DEMAND TURKEY TO OPEN BORDER WITH ARMENIA

White House Pleased with Erdogan-Kocharian Correspondence

According to Turkish Zaman newspaper, the US Undersecretary of the State Department responsible for European and Eurasian affairs Laura Kennedy demanded during a press conference in Ankara that Turkey opens its border with Armenia. Kennedy labeled the process between Turkey and Armenia "hopeful" and evaluated the possible meeting of Erdogan and Kocharian in Warsaw as a "wonderful thing".

"The US considers promising that Armenian and Turkish authorities exchange opinions and supports reconstruction of friendly relations", Kennedy stated during a meeting with Turkish officials.

During her two-day stay, Laura Kennedy met with the secretary general of National Security Council of Turkey, vice-spokesperson of Foreign Ministry and other officials.

Referring to Associated Press, Radio Liberty quoted Kennedy as saying, "The White House is pleased with the fact of recent exchange of correspondence between Turkish Prime Minister and Armenian President on genocide-related issues and called on unifying their suggestions".

In his letter Robert Kocharian on April 10, Erdogan suggested setting a group of historians "that would study archives not only of Armenia and Turkey but those of related third states and will inform the international community about the results". Armenian President said in his reply letter that "we have no right to authorize historians with the task" and suggested "to establish natural relations between the two state without preconditions".

"Why won't they do both things simultaneously? We are hopeful that this process will continue. The White House is interested in intergovernmental relations between Armenia and Turkey and in the issue of reconciliation", Laura Kennedy said in Ankara.

Referring to diplomatic sources, Zaman and Radikal notified earlier that Kocharian and Erdogan are likely to meet in Warsaw during EC Summit on May 16-17. Official Yerevan states that "there is no such meeting scheduled so far".
