Turkey represents major threat for Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Turkey is still in search for a national-strategic identity. It has been experiencing this process for over 70 years already and the final variant is unknown yet. However, one thing is clear: Turkey represents the major threat for Armenia," member of the Armenian National Assembly's committee on European integration, political scientist Armen Ashotyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net



"From the global standpoint, the Armenian-Turkish relations are the pillar stone of geostrategic construction in the region. Normalization of relations at all levels will lead other to reconsideration of their positions in the region. It specifically refers to Russia, Iran, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Many are interested in normalization of relations. The U.S. and EU are demonstrating the highest activity; however, Russia is still idle. Maybe, its restraint is conditioned by a possibility of closure of the 102nd base. But our relations have a broader foundation than mere military cooperation," he said.
