Forecasting influence of Turkish parliamentary elections on relations with Armenia prematureJuly 25, 2007 - 16:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - It's premature to make forecasts about possible influence of Turkish parliamentary elections on Armenia, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Armen Bayburdyan told reporters Wednesday. "The parliamentary elections in Turkey reflect domestic processes and any forecasts about Armenia are premature, since the AKP's election program did not contain any provision referring to relations with official Yerevan. "Erdogan's party refrained from clearly representing its election platform. Only after the new government proceeds to work it will be possible to assess its positions," Mr Bayburdyan said. When asked whether the elections may demonstrate a retreat from the principles of a secular state, the RA Deputy FM said any remarks can be merely theoretical at the moment, "for we base on practical subject assessments," Novosti Armenia reports.
