The meeting of the Armenian and Turkish reporters in Yerevan was an
opportunity to clarify the dispositions on the possible establishment
of the Armenian-Turkish relations. During the meeting organized by
the Eurasia Foundation and sponsored by the Government of Norway,
the Turkish journalists were constantly referring to the necessity
of settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
Armenia and Turkey are not a couple dancing tango. There are five of
us dancing, since the United States, Russia and Azerbaijan have a role
to play in the process, says Ferhat Bonatay, reporter of the CNN Turk.
Correspondent of the Milliyet daily Pary Gursel insists that the
protocols will hardly be ratified by the Turkish Parliament unless
there is progress in the Karabakh issue. "If there is no progress,
the Turkish Parliament will find some ways for the solution of the
issue," the Turkish reporter said. He did not clarify, however, which
those measures are, adding only that "although the Karabakh issue is
not included in the protocols, life is different."
Pary Gursel said he believes the Turkish Parliament will ratify the
protocols despite Azerbaijani pressure.
