/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Anti-Christian and ultranationalist mood gain
force in Turkey. This showed up in the killing of Hrant Dink and
Catholic priests. It’s not accidental that nationalist NMP came third
at the 2007 parliamentary elections," specialist in Turkic philology,
prof. Ruben Safrastyan said.

He noted that formation of a union of Turkic states similar
to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is
rather problematic. "There are joint economic projects like
Kars-Akhalkalaki-Baku and some energy projects but it’s not enough,"
Safrastyan said.
