"It is obvious that Turkey is trying to make a positive progress
in its relations with Armenia. Armenia has many times announced
that it is ready to establish diplomatic ties with Turkey without
preconditions. In this respect, the changes in the attitudes of
Turkey and its waiving the three well-known preconditions may have
quite positive consequences.

Armenia is open for a dialogue and negotiations; it has no
restrictions.

Therefore, in order to bring the relations to a normal state, Turkey
has, to a certain extent, waive its restrictions and revise its
attitudes towards Armenia. This is the civilized way. This is the
only way for smoothing out the uneven points in the Armenian-Turkish
relations as a result of negotiations and discussions," RUBEN
SAFRASTYAN, Head of the Institute of Oriental Studies, is convinced.
