/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian-Turkish dialogue has been constructive so
far, according to Alexander Markarov, director of Yerevan branch of
the Institute of CIS Studies.

"Given the position of the Armenian ruling coalition, I do not
think that there will be problems with ratification of Protocols in
the RA parliament. However, I can’t say the same about the Turkish
parliament. The process is likely to be intensified in early 2010,"
he said.

Markarov also emphasized that if Turkey wishes to be a democracy and
not to fail talks with the EU, it should ratify the document.
