YEREVAN, JANUARY 7, ARMENPRESS. A petition to open Armenian-Turkish border has been launched on the U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration official web page.
The participants of the petition want Turkey to open the border with Armenia, at least for the Syrian-Armenian refugees. As "Armenpress" reports, the application addressed to president Obama's administration states: “Тhe road from Syria to Armenia goes through Turkey, which closed its border with Armenia in 1993."
It is stated in the petition: "Thus, we are kindly asking to call Turkey to open the land border with Armenia (at least, for refugees) without any preconditions. There shouldn't be closed borders in the 21-st century."
