/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armeian-Turkish rapprochement is inevitable,
according to Aharon Adibekyan, director of Sociometer center.

"The hardest task is to establish contact. Armenian and Turkish nations
are hostages to the policy of their countries," he said. "If we visit
Turkey and see something Armenian, we will not be able to prove its
affiliation to our culture."

"When Armenian President said we should help Turks learn themselves
better, it did not refer to the Armenian Genocide only. We should
remind them about their roots, since 30% of Turks are Armenoids,"
Adibekyan said.

At that, he noted that the Armenian-Turkish relations will improve
rather than worsen if the border is opened.
