The Armenian-Turkish relations have become rather controversial
and it is not clear yet who negotiates and with who, professor of
the Yerevan State University Davit Hovhannissyan said today at the
"Through a Big Border: Prospects of Regional Development Outside of
Closed Borders" round table-discussion, adding that he has never
believed that the Turkish authorities may just reject the signed
Armenian-Turkish protocols.
"It is wrong to think that Turkey has frozen the protocols stemming
from the interests of Azerbaijan. They were frozen only stemming from
interests of Turkey," Hovhannissyan assured.
Referring to the other complicated sides of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols, Hovhannissyan stressed with pain that the establishment
of relations between Armenia and Turkey are subordinated to other
issues the protocols harm.
"They see in them further problems in Turkish-Azerbaijani,
Armenian-Azerbaijani, Turkish-American relations with which they are
trying to hide the main topic of discussion," the YSU professor said.
Guests from Finland, Russia, Turkey are participating in the
round-table.
