Erdogan's words plunge world community into confusion, if not in shockMarch 19, 2010 - 18:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Erdogan's words about the possibility of expulsion of Armenian citizens from Turkey plunged the world into confusion, if not in shock. Naturally, being of sound mind and good health, nobody will do this, and Erdogan, I think, does not believe in what he said, Ruben Mehrabyan , expert for Armenian Center for Political and International Studies told PanARMENIAN.Net In his opinion, these hapless protocols signed by the foreign ministers of both countries, over time, showed all their weakness.

At this stage, their state can be described as hanging, uncertain, experiencing discomfort, throwing their politicians frequently from one extreme to another. Indeed, the socio-political developments in Turkey are very complicated, there are many equations with an even greater number of variables. This explains, perhaps, that the world community is yet watching how Erdogan arrests high-ranking military servants," the Armenian expert said. "After all, it is clear that the protocols do not have future. Signing protocols with such content, the Armenian diplomacy has already made an unforgivable mistake, and we should avoid statements and steps that will make it worse," he said.
