"I think that the process of normalizing Armenian-Turkish relations
might fail,"said Director of Department of Turkish Studies at the
Institute of Oriental Studies Ruben Safrastyan, while speaking with
Tert.am. According to him, "there is such a danger, but it’s still not
yet a final failure. There’s time, and if the Turkish side fulfills
its obligations, the process will continue."

Turning his attention to U.S. State Department press spokesperson
Philip Crowley’s latest statement, Safrastyan stated, that was first
and foremost, and mainly, directed to Turkey, since it was Turkey
that was searching for grounds to delay, suspend, or completely halt
the process.
