Judging by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan’s statement
that Turkey’s and Azerbaijan’s positions on the Nagorno Karabakh
problem coincide we can conclude that Turkey remaining loyal to its
anti-Armenian programs wishes to penetrate into Armenia by gaining
Armenia’s favor. Doctor of Philological Sciences, professor Verzhine
Svazlian expressed such an opinion in her interview to the Ararat
Center of Strategic Studies. In her words, after that statement of
R. Erdogan the Armenian authorities "should not have started relations
with their enemy."
V. Svazlian also said that by inviting Turkey to take part in the
construction of the new newclear power plant the Armenian authorities
yielded to the programs of Western powers.
She also touched upon the film on slaughters allegedly organized by
the Armenians distributed among 12 million pupils in 600 thousand
copies of disks in Turkish schools, V. Svazlian assessed that step
of Turkish government as sowing hostility towards Armenia, a Turkish
method of educating pupils in the spirit of hatred.
