Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan does not expect a considerable progress
in the Armenian-Turkish relations after the parliamentary election
in Turkey.
“Some superficial changes, statements are possible. But categorical
and violent statements of the Turkish political elite have considerably
widened the split created by them,” Melkonyan told a press conference
in Yerevan.
“In case of victory, the ruling Justice and Development Party
(AKP) will initiate process of constitutional amendments aimed at
changing the system of public administration in Turkey and adopting
a presidential system,” Melkonyan said, adding that Erdogan will be
the most probable candidate for the post of “influential” president
in the country.
