Armenian-Turkish relations should be given publicity

PanARMENIAN.Net - An individual who is led by Turkey can't be President of Armenia, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan said when commenting on the possibility of Yerevan's concessions in the Armenian-Turkish relations in view of Levon Ter-Petrosyan intention to run for President.



Ter-Petrosyan's coming to power will not be welcomed by Turkey, according to him "The Armenian-Turkish border was closed during Ter-Petrosyan's presidency. Should he come to power again or not, Turkey will not change its position," he noted.



"However, the Armenian-Turkish relations should be given publicity," he added. "In this view the December 19 parliamentary hearings with participation of Turkish guests are very important."



As to Turkey's painful issues, Mr Manoyan pointed to the possibility of demarcation of borders of Middle East and Turkey itself. "You should not be a fortune-teller to understand inevitability of Kurdistan's appearance on the world map some day," he said.



He also noted that during the coming discussions on Turkey's accession to the EU in Brussels, some disorders are probable, since Armenians are planning a protest action and collisions with the Turkish community may take place, IA Regnum reports.
