Baku. Anakhanum Hidayatova - APA. A briefing with the participation of
ambassadors and media representatives has been held in the Center for
Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
(SAM). APA reports that SAM director Farhad Mammadov made a speech on
theme of `The pre-election situation in Armenia'.
Vusal Gasimli, the acting director of Economic Analysis and Global
Affairs Department of SAM made a speech on the Development Conception
project `Azerbaijan-2020: view to the future' and said that the
formation of an efficient and competitive, knowledge-based and export
oriented, as well as strong and sustainable economy responding to the
political and strategic interests of the country and ensuring the
highest level of prosperity will be improved in Azerbaijan.
Mesiagha Mohammedi, the senior research fellow of the Foreign Policy
Analysis Department of SAM spoke about the `2013 presidential election
in Iran' and recalled that according to the Constitution of the
country, the same person is not allowed to be a president for more
than two times: `The substitutive of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has
already elected for two times, is theme of interest and discussion in
both Iran and international arena.'
Javid Valieyv, the leading research fellow of the Foreign Policy
Analysis Department of SAM made a speech on theme of `Opening of
Turkish-Armenian borders': Turkish side calls the process of `Opening
of Turkish-Armenian borders and the establishment of diplomatic
relations' as `Normalization of Armenian policy of the country'. The
normalization process is being carried out in two directions: The
normalization with Armenians living in Turkey and with Armenia. The
normalization process with inside Armenians is being considered as a
part of Turkish democratization. The reasons of the normalization
process with Armenia are following: First, the Turkish diplomacy
thinks that closing the borders with Armenia narrows the sphere of
influence of Turkey in the Southern Caucasus and this sphere will
widen by opening the borders. Second, Turkey thinks that closing the
borders justifies Armenia on 1915 events'.
Javid Valiyev said that at present the normalization of relations with
Armenia has stopped in Turkey at the state level, but it is continuing
by NGOs. The US, groups in Turkey under patronage of the US, some
liberal forces, businessmen living in cross-border regions of Turkey
with Armenia, Armenians with Turkish origin and Armenia support the
normalization process.
