Ruben Mehrabyan. `ErdoÄ?an’s Turkey will not move a finger.’

October 11 2014

On October 10, 2009, in Zurich, the foreign ministers of Armenia and
Turkey signed the Armenia-Turkey protocols and presented to the
parliaments of the two countries for ratification. Months after
signing of the protocols, President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan,
suspended the ratification process in the parliament, saying that
Turkey is not ready to continue the process without preconditions. The
official Yerevan announced that Armenia is discussing the issue of
recalling the Armenian-Turkish protocols. The official Ankara still
associates the normalization of relations with Armenia with Karabakh
conflict. Ahead to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, is
the new government of Turkey able to make any essential move towards
normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations? The expert for the Center
of `Political and International Studies’, Ruben Mehrabyan, in the
conversation with `Aravot’, mentioned, `ErdoÄ?an’s Turkey will not move
a finger to make any essential more towards the Armenia-Turkey
relations. It will happen only in the presence of its clear political
order in Turkey. At present, it is not visible and its trend is not
even seen in the near future. The situation can be changed in Russia
in case of change of regime in Azerbaijan, in case of significant rise
in the presence of the US and allies in the Black Sea, also in case of
some internal processes in Turkey related to Kurdish problem, when
Armenia’s closed border will begin hampering Ankara in its
calculations. I deliberately did not mention the possible settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the fact associated with recognition of
the Armenian genocide, internationally.’
