13:11 * 26.08.14
Armenia's decision to participate in the Turkish president-elect's
inauguration ceremony is an adequate response to the invitation which
the country's top authorities had earlier made, according to a
Turkologist.
Speaking to Tert.am, Ruben Melkonyan, a deputy dean at the Yerevan
State University's Oriental Studies Department, said he thinks the
move was part of an accepted protocol, which had to be responded.
"Considering the relations between our states, and the existing
problems, our country had to give a corresponding response. So I
believe that the participation on the foreign minister's level fully
fits into the frameworks of the international diplomatic ethics and
the protocol," the expert noted.
It comes after the Armenian Foreign Ministry officially confirmed FM
Edward Nalbandian's participation in the event.
Melkonyan noted that the upcoming ceremony is going to be different
from previous other inauguration events. "And I believe they have sent
invitations to representatives of very many countries. So there should
be nothing surprising about this," he added.
