Yerevan can tell Ankara's imitational steps from real process

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia and Turkey are in the situation which should reach its logical termination within 2 months, Head of Eurointegration social organization Karen Bekaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.



"The statement made by RA President Serzh Sargsyan at a joint news conference with Serbian President in Yerevan, showed Armenia has firmly described its position on Armenian-Turkish relations and can tell Ankara's imitational steps from real process," Armenian expert emphasized.



In this context, Karen Bekaryan reminded about recent statement of Turkey's Minister for EU affairs and chief negotiator Egemen Bagis on their readiness to mount a cross on dome of the church on Akhtamar Island.



"This step will surely further Armenian-Turkish dialoged. Still, I believe, Turkish diplomacy of mixing the background with real actions will continue long enough," Karen Bekaryan noted.



Analyzing yesterday's statement of RA President on Armenian-Turkish negotiation process, the expert noted that presidential statements confirmed the following: much as Yerevan welcomes Ankara's steps, Turkish part will not manage to replace agreements reached by imitational background.





RA President Serzh Sargsyan stated at a joint news conference with Serbian President Boris Tadic, he'll visit Turkey to attend return football match between RA and Turkey's teams only upon opening of Armenian-Turkish border or on the eve of Turkey's lifting Armenian blockade.



Return match between Turkish And Armenian football team within World Cup 2010 qualifying games framework will take place on October 14 at Ataturk stadium in Bursa.
