Elections in Turkey: No progress expected in normalization with Armenia
12:35 - 12.06.11
No progress should be expected in the Armenia-Turkey normalization
after the parliamentary elections in Turkey, the Vice-Dean of the
Department of Oriental Studies at Yerevan State University has said.
Speaking to Tert.am, Ruben Melkonyan said that electoral processes do
not end in Turkey even after the elections, and following these
parliamentary elections Turkey will step into a phase of
constitutional elections.
`That is to say electoral processes in Turkey do not end with
parliamentary elections, therefore in such conditions it is impossible
to expect normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,' said
Melkonyan.
Further, Melkonyan said that Turkey's `rhetoric will not change even
after the elections,' adding that Turkey will continue its
pro-Azerbaijani statements for domestic audience.
For foreign audience, according to him, Ankara will say that efforts
for the Armenia-Turkey reconciliation continue.
According to Melkonyan, it is highly likely that the ruling Justice
and Development party, headed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
form a one-party government.
