/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The main idea of the Armenian-Turkish agreement
on road map is that normalization of relations should proceed
simultaneously with the Karabakh conflict settlement process but
independently of it, a Turkish professor said.

"Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is not linked to Karabakh
conflict resolution," Mustafa Aydin, professor of international
relations department at Tobb University of Economics and Technology,
Ankara, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

As to Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Azerbaijan,
prof. Aydin said it was a PR move.

"Actually, Turkish PM visited Baku to negotiate some energy issues,
specifically Nabucco project ands Azeri gas price. I think that if
Armenian-Turkish and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations are normalized,
Armenia will become a full-fledged member of Nabucco project," he said.

“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
