Turkey's Attitude to Armenian Genocide Changes Greatly

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's attitude to the Armenian Genocide changes greatly, said political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan to a press conference in Yerevan. In his words, currently the role of the 'Armenian Lobby' in this regard perform not only Armenian Diaspora organizations, but also European structures, which insist on the acknowledgement of this fact during the entry talks with Turkey. "Still some three years ago the word 'genocide' could not be used in Turkey even during international conferences. Now it is being spoken about publicly," he stressed. Alongside, Iskandaryan underlined that for Armenia the process of negotiations is more important than Turkey's membership to the EU. "Carrot in front of Turkey's nose is much more favorable than membership," he said.



Speaking on UN Security Council's resolution on Iran about prohibiting to supply Tehran with certain types of materials and equipment the Armenian political scientist said that it will not have any impact on Armenia. "Armenia is the only country in the world to whose relation with Iran Washington looks with understanding and is not going to use any sanctions. Moreover, we do not have any joint nuclear programs with Iran," Alexander Iskandaryan underscored.
