/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Armenia has to support its national interest in
negotiating Armenian - Turkish ties normalization," politologist Levon
Shirinyan told a news conference in Yerevan. "We have to satisfy
ourselves with what've we currently achieved in Armenian-Turkish
relations. Normalization of relations should be a reciprocal process,
yet no willingness is observed on Turkey's behalf." He added that it
would be more beneficial to get closer with Iran, as Armenia would
have serious achievements as a result of such cooperation. "As for
the possibility of Armenian-Turkish border opening, Turkey understands
that the Kurdish population in Turkey would be the first to gain from
it, even more so than Turkish people would," Levon Shirinyan noted,
adding that Turkey is only playing an EU-imposed game with Armenia.
