Political scientists Yervand Bozoyan and Alexander Markarov discussed
the strong and week aspects of the Armenian-Turkish protocols today.

According to Yervand Bozoyan, the role of an initiator in the
improvement of the Armenia-Turkish relations has considerably weakened
Armenia’s positions.

"The opening of the border depends on Turkey, and the latter may
bargain over the issue," he said.

Alexander Markarov, on the contrary, considers that having taken the
initiative is an advantage in the current situation. "Armenia proved
to be a reliable partner: it does not simply make statements, it
takes practical steps. In general, the pre-signing of the protocols
is positive and could well serve as a ground for normalization of
relations," he said.

"I can see nothing negative in the fact that two countries want
to improve their relations and have an open border. In this sense,
the trends in the documents are positive," Alexander Markarov said.

"The Armenian authorities actually want to improve the Armenian-Turkish
relations, separating them from the Karabakh issue. This is
understandable.

I understand the authorities from the strategic point of view,
but I cannot understand them from the tactical viewpoint," Yervand
Bozoyan noted.
