/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protocols of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations provide a real opportunity to the Armenian side in some
way to eliminate the consequences of the Armenian Genocide , Hayk
Demoyan , Director of the Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide
told a meeting with journalists in Yerevan.

Protocols provide an opportunity to raise awareness about the Armenian
Genocide in the Turkish society, to return Armenians living in Turkey
to their roots, save the Armenian cultural heritage ", Hayk Demoyan
said. According to him, these documents also provide an opportunity
to restore the Armenian element in Turkey.

Speaking of phobias of the Turkish side, director of the
Museum-Institute of Armenian Genocide, stressed that Ankara has some
phobias. "Turkey is afraid of intensive rehabilitation of the Armenian
element, of the Armenian expansion. In addition, the Turkish side
fears that if borders open the Kurdish population will be engaged
in business and, accordingly, its dependence on the western regions
of the country would weaken, " Hayk Demoyan said. In his opinion,
Turkey closed its border with Armenia not only a sign of solidarity
with Azerbaijan, but for its security.
