Currently, Turkey is more hostile towards Armenia than before
the process of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation, Social Democrat
Hunchakian party member Vahan Shirkhanyan told journalists on
March 16. According to him, border opening will not affect Armenia
positively. He deems that the only advantage of football diplomacy
was that the international community gained insight of Turkey’s real
intentions. However, after the process launched, problems with Armenian
Diaspora emerged.
In his turn, representative of Armenian Republican party Mkrtich
Minasyan reckons that Turkey had no friendly relations with Armenia
before the reconciliation process as well, thus they could not
turn into hostile. Due to Armenia-Turkey reconciliation popular
international TV channels broadcasted videos about Armenian Genocide
and Turkish society as well as world community learned much about
Genocide.
