Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian with the full support of the country hoped
to make the relations with Turkey better without any preconditions. On September 25, 2010
at the UN's General Assembly, Edward Nalbandian mentioned the signing of the protocol
last year after many complications. Until today the border between Armenia and Turkey
remains the only border in all of Europe that is still closed. However, at the time Turkey
still does not agree with the ratification, and wants the language of the initial preconditions which said that
Armenia was the one that needed to forgive the Turks and move on. The Armenians wanted the
border open to have better relations with Turkey and for easier & more efficient trade.
Whereas, Turkey still wants to keep the same relations without any preconditions of the
protocols. In conclusion, even thought the protocol was signed last year the border still
remains closed between Armenia and Turkey.
