/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Some mistakes have been made in the process of the
Armenian-Turkish rapprochement. For example, if the text of the
Protocols wasn’t written carelessly, the ratification process may go
in a different way not causing such a strong reaction from the
Armenian society, " the political scientist, Director of Caucasus
Institute Alexander Iskandaryan told a joint press conference in
Yerevan with the expert Harutyun Mesropyan.

According Mr. Iskandaryan, the process is unique since it involves not
only Ankara and Yerevan, and without the current foreign policy
situation it would be impossible to start the process of the
Armenian-Turkish rapprochement. "I mean the problem of Kurdistan,
Iraq, the Georgian-Ossetian war, and many other factors contributed to
start of the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement," the political scientist
said.

Haroutyun Mesropyan speaking about the latest statement of RA
President Serzh Sargsyan "those do not make mistakes who are doing
nothing," stressed that such a phrase in this case is unacceptable.
"The president seeks to avoid responsibility in case of failure in the
Armenian-Turkish rapprochement",the expert said.
