Today Turkey seeks to become a nuclear power and takes the liberty
of being honest to the Armenians, but its problem is that it is
as ignorant as never before, Director of Noravank Foundation Gagik
Harutyunyan told journalists on Wednesday.
"Nothing is final in the politics. So, having emerged long before the
tragic events of 1915, the problem of Armenian-Turkish relations is
still on agenda," Harutyunyan said.
He said that in the Armenian-Turkish process Armenia has met all
of its obligations, unlike Turkey, who has toughened its attitude
towards the Armenians. "Under current conditions the parties will
hardly take any serious steps towards each other," Harutyunyan said.
He pointed out that since Turkey began improving its relations with
Armenia, it has spoiled its relations with the United States, Israel,
Syria and Iran.
"In the Caucasus Turkey is with Azerbaijan, while Armenia is with
Russia. The Russians have always bewared the Turks. After as many as
thirteen wars in the past they cannot have really good relations,"
the expert said.
As regards Georgia, it is tending towards Turkey and Azerbaijan,
quite unaware what consequences this may have for its economy, where
the Turkish-Azeri capital is already growing on a daily basis.
