/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I wouldn't say that normalization of
Armenian-Turkish relations possible in the foreseeable future,
chairman of Mitq analytical center, historian Eduard Abrahamyan said
in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
`The fact is that Turkic solidarity is gaining weight. Turkey is not
interested in independence and uncontrollable Armenia. During the
soviet era, Ankara was trying to weaken Russia's influence and cement
the Turkic bloc and Islamic fundamentalism,' he said.
`As to Georgia, it has to put up with the economic expansion of
Turkey, which under supervision of its Western allies keeps on
developing various scenarios of so-called Turkish projects where
Armenia is perceived as a temporal political entity, completely
yielding to Azerbaijan.'
`However, despite political confrontation, I can't rule out official
economic ties between the two states, especially because informal
economic contacts has existed and developed since Armenia proclaimed
independence,' the expert said.
