YEREVAN, APRIL 17, ARMENPRESS. The upcoming state visit of the
President of France Francois Hollande will be accompanied by statements
on the Armenian Genocide, which would be to the benefit of Armenia
and to the anger of Turkey.
In response to "Armenpress" question, the turkologist Ruben Melkonyan
said that France is traditionally perceived as the most pro-Armenian
country in Europe, and therefore, during the state visit of the
French President there will be reflection on the Armenian Genocide
and importance will be attached to the issue of its international
recognition.
At the same time the Turkish-French relations are very warm, and are
based not only on economic but also on geopolitical interests. The
turkologist observes the Turkish-French relations from two planes,
adding that both of the countries are NATO members, apart from that,
the foreign policy course of Turkey and France on the Syrian crisis
is almost the same. "In this connection it should be stated that
the relationship is built on mutual interest and mutual basis" -
said the turkologist.
