Yerevan/Mediamax/. Turkologist Artak Shakaryan expressed the opinion
today that Turkey will try to take some steps to indicate positive
trends in the Armenian-Turkish relations till 2015, the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The turkologist stated today that these steps may be opening of
Van-Yerevan flight as well as resumption of Kars-Gyumri railway,
Mediamax reports.
"The railway will be launched only in case Nakhijevan is also linked
up. This option is convenient both for Armenia and Turkey as well as
Russia and U.S. This project has all the chances to be implemented",
stated the turkologist.
Artak Shakaryan also didn't rule out that Turkey may temporarily open
the border with Armenia till 2015.
Speaking about statements on the Genocide made by French President
Nicolas Sarkozy in Yerevan last week, the turkologist said that they
were mostly addressed to the French voters of Armenian nationality.
Commenting on Turkey's negative response, Artak Shakaryan said that
despite public statements, Turkish-French cooperation is still on
rather a high level in a number of spheres.
