Armenian government's reaction on protocols will be significant in
the near future, senior analyst at Economic Policy Research Foundation
of Turkey Burcu Gultekin-Punsmann told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Initiative on return of protocols to the parliament hasn't been much
publicized in Turkey, she said.
"The initiative didn't target specifically relations with Armenia,
other draft laws left from the previous legislative period have been
also brought back in the same move to the Parliament," she added.
Nevertheless, Gultekin-Punsmann considers there is a sign of the
existence of political will on a certain level on the Turkish side
The fact that Minister Davutoglu is now himself MP can perhaps create
a difference.
"A sense of an unfinished job and unfulfilled hopes have started
developing among Turkish officials when it comes to improving relations
with Armenia. Armenia stays in their mind. However the protocols
process has also been frozen in Armenia. The reaction of the Armenian
government will be therefore significant in the near future," she said.
The analyst believes that deal with Armenia will boost Turkey's
stance in the region restore the tarnished image of the zero problem
approach worldwide.
