If the U.S., Europe and Russia exert pressure on Turkey, it might
take wrong steps, get enraged and show obstinacy, Richard Giragosian,
Head of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies
(ACNIS) stated in Feb.24 interview.
"Today, Turkey faces a revolution that might affect its future --
eastern, western, Islamic or secular country. It is unclear what
country it will become thereafter. Internal developments in the
country, Ergenekon case arrests prove that Turkey is disoriented in
relations with Armenia.
According to him, Turkey has not yet decided what it wants from
Armenia. "I consider Armenia holds rather strong stand, as it is Turkey
that makes mistakes, but in foreign policy only. We are weaker on the
inside," Giragosian emphasized. He did not share the viewpoint that
Armenia did not benefit from the reconciliation process. The process
harmed Azerbaijani-Turkey relations, the expert assured.
