/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Turkey is still in search for a national-strategic
identity. It has been experiencing this process for over 70 years
already and the final variant is unknown yet. However, one thing is
clear: Turkey represents the major threat for Armenia," member of
the Armenian National Assembly’s committee on European integration,
political scientist Armen Ashotyan said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.

"From the global standpoint, the Armenian-Turkish relations are the
pillar stone of geostrategic construction in the region. Normalization
of relations at all levels will lead other to reconsideration of
their positions in the region. It specifically refers to Russia,
Iran, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Many are interested in normalization of
relations. The U.S. and EU are demonstrating the highest activity;
however, Russia is still idle. Maybe, its restraint is conditioned
by a possibility of closure of the 102nd base. But our relations have
a broader foundation than mere military cooperation," he said.
