An exhibition dedicated to 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall was launched at the Yerevan State University today.
The opening ceremony was attended by German Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Karine Ghazinyan, French Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessov, representatives of the US and Russian Embassies. They presented the role of their countries in the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The participants agreed that the fall of the Wall played a critical role in the further development of European cooperation.
“The citizens of the German Democratic Republic had enough will to accomplish a peaceful revolution. It is through their efforts that Germany was reunited,” Ambassador Schmidt said.
Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister, ex-Armenian Ambassador to Germany Karine Ghazinyan stressed that the fall of the Berlin Wall could serve as an example for the fall of another invisible wall – the closed Armenian-Turkish border.
According to her, the Armenian-Turkish dialogue is targeted at the removal of this invisible wall, while any preconditions will hinder the dialogue.
“If Turkey is really sincere, it should ratify the protocols,” Karine Ghazinyan said.
