Armenia is ready establish relations with Turkey, but the same cannot
be said about Turkey, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies
of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, turcologist Rouben
Safrastyan said at today's debates on the Armenian-Turkish relations
and the perspectives for the next 5 years. The representatives of
the Association of Young Politicians attended the debates.
"Our diplomacy has demonstrated that Armenia is ready to establish
relations with Turkey, but Turkey is not. Ankara is trying to
use these factors, which actually have nothing to do with the
Armenian-Turkish interstate relations", Safrastyan said. As a result
of the Armenian-Turkish process, Armenia has managed to raise its
diplomatic image as a country, which was loyal to the bilateral
protocols, unlike Turkey.
"As regards the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide
and the Armenian Cause in general, we can state that the process with
Turkey has not done any harm to the Armenian people", he said.
Safrastyan pointed out with content that the contemporary youth
representatives take an active part in debates on this topic.
