Influential forces in world politics block the way of Turkey to Europe,
pushing it towards our region to expand NATO's interests there, stated
Hrant Khachatryan, the leader of the Constitutional Right Union,
on July 7 at the Hayeli Club. According to him, there are forces in
Turkey, which oppose to this process and want their country to move
towards Europe rather than the East.
Hrant Khachatryan says Armenia should build relations with Turkey,
considering the present reality. According to the leader of the CRU,
it would be better if Turkey recognized the genocide, returned the
land, an election was held and the problem of the Armenian Cause
was settled, but these have nothing to do with the reality, Hrant
Khachatryan says. Ruben Safrastyan, Turkish Studies, agrees with him.
He thinks that while speaking about the prospect of Armenian and
Turkish relations our real possibilities should be taken into
consideration.
Both Hrant Khachatryan and Ruben Safrastyan are satisfied that the
issue of the genocide is constantly on the agenda of the foreign
policies of Armenia. Ruben Safrastyan even says otherwise it would
mean depriving our foreign policies from its component of identity.
Safrastyan thinks that Turkey is playing diplomatic games, asserting
its willingness to discuss the genocide.
Ruben Safrastyan mentions that the dialogue cannot be between Armenia
and Turkey. It should be mediated by international organizations. If
Turkey notices that it is alone with Armenia, Turkey starts carrying
out a policy of pressure, thinks Safrastyan. He believes that Armenian
and Turkish relations should be mediated by the European Union and the
United States, combining our interests and their interests in order to
achieve effective work in the direction of Turkish-Armenian relations.
