Future Of Armenian-Turkish Relations Depends On Both Ankara And Baku

FUTURE OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS DEPENDS ON BOTH ANKARA AND BAKU: AMERICAN EXPERT

Yerevan, January 15. ArmInfo. The future of the Armenian-Turkish
relations depends on both Ankara and Baku, American expert Richard
Kirakosyan said at a press-conference in Yerevan, Monday. According
to him, the key issues concerning the Armenian-Turkish relations,
i.e. unblocking the border, establishing diplomatic relations, as
well as the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, depend on Turkey’s
position and transformation of Turkey’s identity.

On the other hand, the normalization of relations with Turkey depends
on how legitimate the domestic political situation in Armenia will
be. The parliamentary elections in Armenia should be transparent and
fair. Armenia should develop institutional factors and not personal
significance, as this is the only way of developing legitimacy
and improving relations with neighboring countries, R.Kirakosyan
emphasized. He added that the condition of the Armenian-Turkish
relations reflects the domestic political situation in Turkey, as at
the moment, reappraisal of values is dynamically going on in Turkey.

The decision upon the Armenian-Turkish relations will determine the
direction of Turkey’s development, whether it will continue the process
of integration into the European Union, or will step aside from it,
thus casting doubt on the prospect of the whole region’s integration,
the expert concluded.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
