/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Armenia needs to study neighboring states'
national psychology to be able to predict their activities,
dispositions and goals," psychologist Albert Nalbandyan told today
a press conference devoted to national psychology and ideology in
the context of Armenian-Turkish relations. Armenians do not have
a uniform ideology on Armenian-Turkish relations, the psychologist
finds. "Armenian political elite views Armenian-Turkish relations
from the angle of the present-day situation only. We have already
made mistakes in our dialogue with Turkey, so we need to consider
all the pros and cons of the process," Nalchadjyan stressed.
In his turn, politologist, Doctor of Political Sciences Levon
Shirinyan noted that Armenian-Turkish process posed danger to
Armenia. "In this way, Armenia attempts to change the strategic ratio
of forces in South Caucasus, and superpowers may disapprove of such
step." Armenian-Turkish border opening, according to Shirinyan, will
only contribute to the economic development of Kurdish-populated
regions of the neighboring country and the population of Western
Armenian territories. Besides, Ankara will demand that Armenia withdraw
Russian bases from its territory, the politologist is convinced.
