    Turkish journalists study general moods

    A group of Turkish journalists have arrived in Armenia to study the
    general moods over the Protocols on Armenian-Turkish relations. During
    a conversation with A1+ reporter of Habarturk newspaper Bulent Gunal
    said that the "Turkish people are ready for the frontier reopening but
    some nationalists are concerned about the Protocols."

    "I can say one thing for sure. Despite all controversial
    interpretations of the documents Turks are unanimous that there must
    be no conflicts in the region.

    Large-scale discussions are held over the Protocols on different
    levels in Turkey. The cons say Armenian-Turkish frontier mustn't be
    opened unless Armenia withdraws its troops from Karabakh. They are
    also concerned over the formation of a sub-commission of
    Armenian-Turkish historians," says Mr. Bulent Gunal.

    Armenian authorities lay no preconditions in diplomatic relations
    while your authorities connect Armenian-Turkish relations with a third
    country - Azerbaijan. Do the statements of your authorities
    contribute to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties?

    In reply to A1+'s question, Mr. Bulent said: "I shall not comment on
    the statements of Turkey's leadership but Armenia should realize that
    the situation has changed in the region after the Russian-Georgian
    conflict.

    Armenia should understand that besides friendly relations Turkey and
    Azerbaijan have certain energetic commitments and Turkey must defer to
    Azerbaijan."
