"The survey was conducted from September 21 to 25. A similar survey was conducted in Turkey as well," he said. "Formerly, 70% of Turks were against normalization of relations with Armenia. With time, the figure reduced to 53%." At that he emphasized that the Armenian authorities had to prepare the public for the decision they were going to take. "For many years we eyed Turks as enemies. It's natural that the nation opposes normalization of relations in such format," he said.
