Sinan Ogan: Turkish-Armenian relations have long and deep-rooted historyNovember 11, 2008 - 15:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish-Armenian relations have long and deep-rooted history, said Sinan Ogan, Chair of the Turkish Center for International Relations and Strategic Analysis."The question is which aspects of these relations should be considered today. Should we cover all dimensions of Turkish-Armenian relations or should we restrict ourselves to discussion of the events of 1915. If we seek answers for current problems in history and take it for a starting point, there would be no future for Turkish-Armenian relations.There were a lot problems and wars among different societies in history. As of today, we can see that all these countries have peaceful relations. For instance, The Russian Federation and Germany which used to be enemies 60 years ago, today are very close allies," he said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "Why haven't Turkey and Armenia become friends? No one should forget that only historians are to decide who was right or wrong. Resting on their assessments, we could change the world. Therefore, the future of Turkish-Armenian relations can be very bright or very dark at the same time. The most important thing is how much we want peace and good relations," he said.
