Armenians Divided Over Turkish Border Opening

Only one in two Armenians want to have an open border with neighboring Turkey, according to a European Union-funded opinion poll that was presented in Yerevan on Tuesday.

The Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC), a U.S. non-governmental organization specializing in the South Caucasus, also found that 82 percent of them distrust Turkey.

The CRRC publicized these findings more than four months after asking about 1,200 people across Armenia a wide range of questions relating to Turkish-Armenian relations. The survey was part of an EU project to promote direct contacts between the Turkish and Armenian civil societies.
