/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian society is more ready to normalize
RA-Turkish ties than Turkish is, Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan told
a news conference in Yerevan. "Armenians are more tolerant than
Turks. Certain social classes in Turkey are categorically opposed
to RA-Turkish rapprochement and opening of borders," the Turkologist
emphasized.
Turkish Armenians are observing RA-Turkish rapprochement process
with careful optimism. "Parties’ establishing diplomatic relations
will have a positive effect on Turkey’s Armenian Diaspora. Besides,
as a result, many of "concealed Armenians" will openly speak of their
heritage," he stated.
