/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan base on
emotions more than on logic, a Turkish expert said.
"Azerbaijan doesn't eye Turkey as foreign country," director of the
Turkish Center for International Relations and Strategic Analysis
(TURKSAM). "It has great respect for Turkey and expects a similar
attitude. But unfortunately, Turkey can't find the right approach
to Azerbaijan."
"Opening of the border is a sensitive issue and the Turkish government
should carry out a thorough analysis of advantages and disadvantages
of this move. However, opening of the border with Armenia doesn't
mean full normalization of relations, since Armenia doesn't give
up its claims of genocide. On the other part, it would be unwise
to lose Azerbaijan's respect and support," Mr. Ogan said, Sunday's
Zaman reported.
