Russian MP does not believe in Armenian Turkish relations' longevity

PanARMENIAN.Net - Even if agreement on normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties is achieved, I still do not believe in the longevity of these relations, RF MP Semen Baghdasarov said at TV space bridge entitled "Armenia-Turkey: Progress in bilateral relations or geopolitical games of world powers?".



"Even if relations between Turkey and Armenian are normalized, still memories of tragic past will linger both in Armenia and Armenian Diaspora," the MP stressed.



According to Semen Baghdasarov, Turkey has more to gain from opening of Armenian-Turkish border than Armenia itself, and Armenian authorities have to remember this. "By opening border with Armenia, Turkey will play a more significant role in South Caucasus and strengthen its presence in Central Asia. No wonder USA supports Armenian-Turkish border opening," Semen Baghdasarov stated.
