/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Europe wants to assume the credit for
Armenian-Turkish dialog, a Russian expert said.
"As a matter of fact, the European Union has nothing to do with it. The
presidential meeting is the result of pragmatism manifested by the
Armenian authorities," Sergei Markedonov, head of the interethnic
relations department at the institute of political and military
analysis, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Armenia should break the isolation and can talks even with Turkey
for the purpose," he added.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed Saturday Turkish counterpart
Abdullah Gul's visit to neighboring Armenia as "courageous and
historic".
"While the region is in the midst of a serious crisis, (his visit)
is a courageous and historic gesture for Turkish-Armenian relations,"
Sarkozy, who currently holds the European Unions rotating presidency,
said in a statement "It allows hope for progress soon in establishing
normal relations between Turkey and Armenia," he said.
