/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The problems Turkey experienced with
Greece over Cyprus were much more serious than those
with Armenia, head of the department of international
relations at University of Economic and Technology,
prof. Mustafa Aydin told Caucasus 2007 international
conference in Yerevan.
Relations between Turkey and Greece have improved
thanks to the publics of both states, according to
him. -I witness how the Greek and Turkish communities
of Cyprus are establishing a dialog and I am hopeful
that a united Greek-Turkish Cyprus will appear one
day,- prof. Aydin said, adding that the number of
Armenians willing normalization of relations with
Turkey has increased recently.
-Of course, problems still exist. One of them is
Armenia's recognition of present-day Turkey's borders,
according to the Treaty of Kars. The second is the
tragedy of 1915 which is viewed by many Turks as
history having nothing in common with the modern
Turkish State. The 1915 events shouldn't hamper the
Armenia-Turkey public dialog,- Aydin concluded.
