YEREVAN, MAY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. "We wonder who is behind the
Armenian-Turkish flirt, whether Russia or the U.S.," Ashot Melkonian,
the Director of the History Institute of the National Academy of
Sciences of Armenia, stated at the May 27 press conference. According
to him, Armenia should clarify from its strategic ally Russia what is
the latter’s attitude to Armenian-Turkish relations. A. Melkonian said
that he is concerned with his talk with a Russian serviceman. According
to the historian, that serviceman told him that if the Turks attack
Armenia from the side of Yeraskh, the Russian border-guards should
withdraw up to Artashat.
