Gul's visit will hardly break ice between Yerevan and Ankara
Gul's decision to visit Yerevan was rather a surprise, said an expert at Russian Strategic Culture Foundation.
"Anyway, both sides have taken steps to normalize humanitarian and public relations. Besides, Turkish media has demonstrated goodwill to Armenia, Andrey Areshev told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"As far as I know, one of Turkish newspapers even wrote it could be good if Gul attended the Armenian Genocide memorial. But he won't do it, of course. This visit will hardly break ice between Yerevan and Ankara but the logic of relations hints at gradual reconciliation," he said.
