YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS: The Russian-Turkish statement on
the level of foreign ministers was a response to the adoption of bill
penalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the French Senate,
Turkologist Levon Hovsepyan told a news conference Tuesday. “It is
not accidental that Turkey, offended from Europe, is trying to find
rapprochement edges with Russia. It is Turkey’s desperate steps taking
to nowhere,” Hovsepyan said.
He noted that both the West and Russia understand Turkey’s forces
well. Besides, there is a big danger of destabilization in the region,
and Turkey, playing its own game, is trying to take its place. This
country has intentions connected with Syria and certain military
activities in the territory of Syria are not excluded.
