Armenian issue once again turned to be "headache" for Turkey for the
issue of recognition of "Genocide of Armenians" touches the fundaments
of Turkish identity, declared in Yerevan director of the institute on
oriental studies of National Academy of Science of Armenia, professor,
Professor. Ruben Safrastyan.
"The only chance to establish relations with Turkey is to give up
policy of international recognition of "genocide of Armenians". The
rest is political game. If Armenia makes concession in this issue,
then Turkey may even promote taking decision on conflict in Garabagh
taking into consideration interests of Armenia", underscored Armenian
specialist in Turkic philology.
"Late 90-s Turkey entered the stage of political and economic bloom,
what became possible at result of activity of middle class which
created ruling party of Justice and Development. The advent of Party
of Justice and Development is natural being phenomenal occurrence of
political history of Turkey; it is a party which regards conception of
"soft" Islam with market economy. And of course symbol of all this
transformation is Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan", Safrastyan
concluded.
