/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey should not fear that U.S. President-elect
will recognize the Armenian Genocide, a Turkish expert said.
"What needs to be done is further improving the relations with Yerevan
and marginalizing the Armenian diaspora in the United States,"
said Omer Taspinar, an expert on Turkey with the Washington-based
Brookings Institution. "By opening borders with Armenia and taking
other appropriate steps, Turkey will have the trump card in its hands."
Marc Grossman, a former U.S. ambassador to Turkey, advised the Turkish
government to keep improving ties with Armenia during a teleconference
at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara early on Wednesday. "Dialogue and open
borders with Armenia will give Turkey an advantage in discussing the
issue with the Obama administration," he said, Today's Zaman reports.
