/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Recent activeness in Armenian-Turkish process
and the Protocols signed between two states resulted from President
Serzh Sargsyan’s speech delivered during the meeting with his Serbian
colleague. Thereafter, Turkish political system started searching for
response to our President’s statement," YSU lecturer, Turkish studies
expert Ruben Melkonyan told today a press conference in Yerevan.

At the current stage, Turkey is attempting to resolve problems it has
been facing for several decades, the speaker finds. Turkey’s ruling
Justice and Development Party is considered a political force which
not only fights for problematic issues but also tries to solve them,
as seen by heated discussions over Kurdish problem and the issue on
opening border with Armenia," Melkonyan stressed, adding that one
of reasons Turkish ruling party signed the document was to save the
country’s image vs. avoiding internal problems.
