Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) was more hospitable and kind than Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs who “didn’t even bother to offer their neighbors a cup of coffee or tea.” This is how Powerful Turkey (G\u00fc\u00e7<\/span>l\u00fc<\/span> T\u00fc<\/span>rkiye Partisi, GTP) party leader Tuna Beklevi\u00e7<\/span> described the last day of his visit to Armenia. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beklevi\u00e7<\/span>, however, said that they won’t back down on their decision and will succeed in getting the Armenia-Turkey border opened.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to him, his party has been working on the issue of normalizing Armenia-Turkey relations for over a year and will reach its goal. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Against all odds, we are going to open this border,” he said, according to Turkey’s ANKA news agency.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to ANKA, the minority party leader criticized Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs since, according to him, “it is being controlled by a third country: Russia.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he said that the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border will bring peace and prosperity to the region. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Both the Turkish and Armenian people share the same idea, supporting the opening of the borders,” he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recall that after giving a press conference today, Beklevi\u00e7<\/span> and other GTP members were held by the NSS for questioning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As told to Epress.am by NSS press spokesperson Ardzvi Bagramyan: “The Turkish politicians were invited to the NSS to provide explanations, since they had said they had crossed the state border.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the NSS released an official statement earlier saying that both Beklevi\u00e7<\/span> and party vice-chair Baybars \u00d6<\/span>rsek were warned that “their behavior and irresponsible statements are unacceptable” and they were asked to leave Armenia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
