    HAKOB CHAKRIAN: UNLESS RA PRESIDENT LEAVES FOR TURKEY, DIALOGUE BETWEEN ARMENIA AND TURKEY WILL FAIL

    Noyan Tapan
    Aug 19, 2009

    YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, NOYAN TAPAN. RA President's possible visit to
    Turkey became an occasion for serious disputes in Armenia's political
    circles. Some political scientists consider that the RA President
    should not leave for Turkey, others are of opposite opinion.

    Thus, according to well-known Turkologist Hakob Chakrian, in any
    case the President can leave for Turkey on a return visit, take the
    opportunity and say to the very President of Turkey Abdullah Gul
    about keeping or breaking his word.

    During an August 19 meeting with journalists H. Chakrian said that
    if this dialogue fails, it will be rather difficult to create a
    new occasion. In his words, if Armenia turns down the invitation of
    leaving for Turkey on a return visit, the international community will
    consider Armenia an unaccomodating country being against stability,
    dialogue, and cooperation.

    The Turkologist also said that straight after Serzh Sargsyan's
    statement the opinion was already spread in Turkey, according to which
    Armenia puts forward preconditions. According to him, it is Turkey
    that needs rapprochement as its hostile policy to Armenia has failed.
