POSITIVE CHANGES IN NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF ARMENIANS: PRESIDENT OF SOCIAL RESEARCH FUND

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan's visit to Turkey
accompanied by enthusiastic and optimistic statements of the latter
on prospects of inter-governmental cooperation can be considered one
of those done forcibly and forcedly.
The pictures of a demonstration of Armenian diaspora in Lebanon
dated for the visit of the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan's visit
to Beirut held under the slogan of "We did not invite beasts" still
stick in my mind. But today we can see quite opposite of it. I would
describe it as a radical civilized progress in national consciousness
of Armenians. Opening of borders and establishing direct diplomatic
ties with Turkey and elimination of an almost century-long mythology
about so-called "Armenian genocide" becomes priority and almost fixed
idea of Yerevan.
What is the reason? Probably prospective full isolation of expansionist
Armenia because of changing political situation in wake of well-known
events in Georgia and demands of a certain geopolitical center in
fairway policy which contained key coordinates of a foreign policy
conception of Armenia.
I think concerns of many domestic politicians and experts over the
format of Turkish-Armenian contacts are groundless. Possibility of
restoring activities of Armenian-Turkish Commission on "genocide"
and other indirectly announced measures gives hopes for lifting
regional karmas of "hatred" and if sides are dynamic and systematic,
they can bring nothing, but benefit for all.
Drastic changes in architectonics of forces in the region of the South
Caucasus, of course, can cause quite interesting results. The fact
of interests of Moscow and Ankara coming closer in the region created
prospects of formation new realities, which can be very advantageous
for Azerbaijan. The opposite is possible by definition. Because of
the simple reason that framework of a new regional construction will
be coordinated with the interests of Azerbaijan. Otherwise, they will
not simply take place.
