Turkey did not find strength to ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols,
Director of the Analytical Center for Globalization and Regional
Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan said today at a meeting with journalists,
adding that nevertheless, sooner or later the government of Turkey
will regulate the relations with Armenia.
Referring to the fact that Turkey has taken away Armenia and
Russia from the list of its national security threats, the political
analyst stressed that it is the logical continuation of regulation of
relations, but from time to time, motivated by different conditions,
the country either roughens its positions or smoothens.
"Of course, the multilateral mechanisms of regulation of relations
are not excluded, but the parties must come to the bilateral format
of regulation," Mr. Grigoryan said. Speaking of taking away Russia
from the same list, he noted that it is not possible to implement
large-scale economic and energy programs with a state and consider
it a threat of national security.
Taking Armenia and Russia out from the list of national security
threats, Turkey has involved Israel in the latter.
