Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that “the lack of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations and last closed border of Europe continue to be a vulnerable element of the Pan-European security”.

The President stated it at the High-level Meeting on the 5th Anniversary of the Eastern Partnership in Prague on April 24.

“Collating with one’s own history and understanding its consequences are important prerequisites for reconciliation. We believe that encouraging people to people contacts is another important prerequisite for reconciliation. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible since there are artificial impediments, and the border is closed”, said Serzh Sargsyan.

“It is paradoxical but nevertheless matter of fact that the EU membership aspiring Turkey sealed off its border with a neighboring country, while the borders within European Union have long become history and free movement is a basic principle”, highlighted the Armenian President.
