The passions of Turkey around the bill on criminalizing Armenian
genocide denial adopted by the French Senate are for the local
audience use, Russian political expert, Andrey Areshev, said during
today's Yerevan-Moscow TV bridge.
"Turkey's threatening France is a performance for local audience. I
think that the reason of such an agio are the forthcoming presidential
election in this country. Undoubtedly breaking of relations between
Paris and Ankara is not in favor of Turkey first of all, judging from
the fact that Ankara will hardly dare to make any serious step in this
direction", - he said.
Areshev also added that the decision of the French Senate has already
left the frames of this state and is directing towards America and
Europe. If Turkey still hopes and wants to join the EU, it is obliged
to play according to the European rules. At present, the role of
Turkey is sharply changing and the country is gradually losing its
influence in the region. It wants to join the EU but refuses to play
according to the European rules. This causes serious problems for the
Turks, which are actually beneficial for Armenia and promote global
recognition and criminalizing of the Armenian genocide denial.
