Another Turkish influential force would evoke different response
October 30, 2010 | 14:00
Armenian Foreign Ministry will never receive representatives of Strong
Turkey party and treat them with a cup of tea of coffee, as their
visit was an unofficial one, Turkish studies expert Kristine Melkonyan
told the journalists today.
`In case foreign office received them and asked their standpoint, it
would mean Armenia is trying to speak about Armenian-Turkish relations
with a force that is not that powerful in Turkey. If any other
influential force, for instance Justice and Development party members,
visited Armenia, responses and approaches would be different.
Meanwhile, Strong Turkey party that chose the shortest way to become
popular, visited Armenia just for political PR,' she said.
According to the expert, Armenian-Turkish dialogue will still remain
frozen. `In case ruling Justice Development party wins parliamentary
elections, the process may be resumed, or may be not,' Melkonyan
stressed.
The expert also recalled that the EU is expected to issue an annual
report on Turkey on Nov. 9.
