"Pre-election campaign of parliamentary elections will shortly be
launched in Turkey, scheduled in 2011 and speaking of Armenia-Turkey
rapprochement during this period is tantamount to a political suicide,"
the daily quotes Turkish studies expert Artak Shakaryan.
According to him, for this reason there is no need to expect progress
in the normalization process.
"However, if Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wins the
elections, Turkey will be actively engaged in the normalization
of Armenia-Turkey relation, as the 100th anniversary of Armenian
Genocide will be marked in 2015, which is a special date for Turks,"
the expert stressed.
