According to the Armenia media, in two months after ratification of the agreements on diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey to be signed on 10 October of the year Turkey should open the Turkish-Armenian border.

But simultaneously the US concerns Armenia's “ottomanization” following that and advise Armenia itself to decline from agreements with Turkey.
