Senior Fellow of the US Atlantic Council David L. Phillips, who is preparing the report for the government to solve Kurdish problem, was a chairman of the Turkey-Armenia coordination council initiated by the United States government.
APA reports quoting ANKA that Deputy Chairman of Turkey's opposition party CHP, MP, former ambassador of Turkey to NATO Onur Oyman informed about it. According to him, it proves that the Turkish Government takes all these steps under the influence of foreign circles. Oyman noted that 3 Turkish members of Turkey-Armenia commission expressed their concern over the organization's activity and resigned, but others prepared the “Road Map” and submitted it to the governments of both countries. Despite the details of the “Road Map” are not made public, some sources report that the document reflects the unconditional opening of Turkey-Armenia borders: “President Obama did not talk about any conditions during his speech in Turkish Parliament, but wanted Turkey to open its borders and normalize relations with Armenia. After the Obama's speech, some AKP MPs supported the US president's initiative. However, after Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's strong objection, the Turkish Prime Minister visited Azerbaijan and declared that Turkey-Armenia border will not be opened unless the Nagorno-Karabakh problem is resolved.“
It should be noted that Turkish Government declares that serious steps will be taken for the solution of Kurdish problem. But the details of these steps are not known yet.
