Turkey-Armenia relations will not be normalized unless first step
made in resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and lands are
de-occupied.
The statement came from Head of Atlas Research Center, political
expert Elkhan Shahinoglu while commenting on latest remarks by Turkish
President Abdullah Gul that "there are still hopes for improving
Armenia-Turkey relations."
"Ankara is committed to a promise it has given to Azerbaijan on
this matter. The ball is in Armenia's side. Yerevan should make the
first step. As to reports about meetings between Turkish and Armenian
businessmen, this is exaggerated news," Shahinoglu said.
"The news is about a few businessmen of Armenian origin who live in
border areas in Turkey. They describe the meetings with their Armenian
counterparts as "Union of Turkey-Armenia businessmen." Armenian
propaganda is aimed at weakening Turkey-Azerbaijan unity," the
expert added.
