Meetings at any level will prove unproductive unless Turkey alters
its position on the Genocide issue, according to political scientist
Alexander Manasyan.
"Turkey will remain genocidal country as long as it denies Armenian
Genocide," he said during a joint news conference with Stepan
Grigoryan, head of the Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional
Cooperation. "Anyway, the international community would raise the
Armenian Genocide issue sooner or later."
For his part, Mr. Grigoryan added that Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan should take certain steps before departing for the United
States. "First, Armenia should support Kazakhstan’s initiative banning
nuclear weapons testing. Second, Armenia should ratify the protocols
to put Turkey in an awkward situation," he said, adding that Erdogan’s
threat to deport illegal Armenian workers aimed to prevent Armenia
from ratification of protocols. "Turkey drags out the ratification
process to gain most not only from Armenia, but also from the United
States and European Union."
