The ideas expressed by members of Powerful Turkey Party are reasonable
and in line with common-sense, politologist Stepan Grigoryan told a
press conference today.
"That party says that the Armenian-Turkish border should be opened
and that it should not be linked to others issues, such as Genocide
and Karabakh," said he, adding that he personally knows the young
leaders of that party.
According to Mr Grigoryan, Tuna Beklevic, the leader of that party,
made an important statement in his press conference in Yerevan.
Particularly, he used the expression "great calamity" as he referred
to the Armenian Genocide - something the Armenian mass media did not
pay due attention to.
"When the US Congress says 'great calamity, everybody write about it.
No one paid attention to Turkish party member's use of such statement
in Armenia," explained he.
Further Mr Grigoryan mentioned that the visit of those Turkish
politicians to Armenia boils down to the fact the Armenia is what he
called "free country" where one can come and freely express opinions.
"When they said that they had crossed the border, a sensitive
situation was created, but our state bodies, the foreign ministry
and the National Security Service, behaved correctly," said he,
adding that Armenian's might well not be treated likewise in Turkey.
