Armenian-Turkish process can’ be seen through rose-colored glassesApril 1, 2010 - 18:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian-Turkish process in recent months has become very complicated within recent months, significantly more complicated, Felix Stanevsky head of the Caucasus department at the Institute for CIS countries told to PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to him, the normalization process of Armenian-Turkish relations became complicated after the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the Armenian Genocide Resolution 252. Referring to a possible tripartite meeting of Armenia - Obama - Erdogan in Washington, Stanevsky said that one meeting cannot solve the problem. "After that meeting the Armenian-Turkish process may have a progress and may not. In any case, the U.S. is interested in the progress, and even if no progress is recorded they will pretend it is," Stanevsky said, adding that the current situation in the Armenian-Turkish relations cannot be seen through pink glasses. He said the planned meeting is also associated with the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
