YEREVAN.- Armenia-Turkey rapprochement can make easier many aspects
of interests, Wayne Merry, Senior Associate at the American Foreign
Policy Council, said addressing international forum in Yerevan.
Diplomatic relations between the states is not a gift or a great
honor, it is a way of interaction, he said during the annual
international forum `Dynamics of Regional Security in the South
Caucasus.'
In his opinion, one of the best solutions would be the opening of
Turkey's interests' sections at any of the embassies in Armenia and
vice versa. It may be done for example in Georgia, he emphasized.
The political analyst believes the only mistake during normalization
process was submitting the protocols to the parliaments, an idea
doomed to failure.
`Foreign policy should be implemented by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. And it is not the main goal, but only a means to solve the
current problems,' he said.
It is necessary to establish relations with Turkey. It is more in the
interests of Armenia, a landlocked country with relatively poor
resources, he concluded.
