/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Richard Giragosyan: "It’s hard to speak about
Armenian-Turkish ties normalization since there is apparent
disproportion of forces between two states," said Richard Giragosyan,
Head of Armenian Center for Strategic and National Research. The
expert first of all accounts for such disproportion by Armenia’s
unyielding policy.
"Armenia demonstrated diplomatic weakness on April 23, by signing a
road map with Turkey. That was a pressure upon Armenia which showed
our country’s attitude to its Diaspora," the expert said. Armenian
authorities, according to him, should not have publicized such
statement prior to April 24. Besides, Armenian side’s policy strongly
offended Diaspora, Giragosyan added.
