Zardusht Alizade Political scientist Zardusht Alizade has commented
on the message of the Armenian president to Abdullah Gul.

Serzh Sargsyan’s letter to Abdullah Gul is a sort of a message
to the Armenian people that Armenia is on the right way, that the
rapprochement continues despite the temporary delays and that the
Armenian-Turkish relations will gradually improve, said political
scientist Zardusht Alizade, commenting on Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan’s message to his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul.

According to him, the Armenian president’s letter is for inner use.

"Such actions are not accepted abroad. I remember that Nikita Khruschov
sent the messages to the peoples of the countries which he passed while
flying to America. This letter is the same. It shows the backwardness
of their thinking", the political scientist said.

The analyst considers that the Armenian-Turkish border will not
open soon.

"I do not think that the border between Turkey and Armenia will open
until April. This is a long process and the Turkish Premier has said
in open that the border will not open without achievements in the
Karabakh conflict. I do not think the pressure of the West and the
threats to recognize the so-called ‘genocide’ may have any effect.

What happens, if all US congressmen recognize the so-called
‘genocide’? Will Armenians sit on Turkey’s neck?", the analyst said.
