PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia-Turkey normalization dispelled a number
of myths around Ankara's foreign policy, according to an analyst at
European Integration NGO.
"Turkey's motto, "zero problems with neighbors", proved to be another
exaggeration, seeing how the country's facing problems with almost
all of its neighbors: Iran, Israel, Syria and even Cyprus," Manvel
Ghumashyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
"The facts above demonstrate relations with Turkey can't be based on
trust," the expert said.
"Another one of myths dispelled is Armenia's unwillingness to
normalize ties with Turkey, failing to show initiative in the issue,"
the expert said.
Commenting on mediators' efforts in the course of normalization,
the expert noted, "although less active now, the mediators were to
thank for a shift in Armenia-Turkey rapprochement."
