Gul’s statement in Switzerland dictated by ethical norms
Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s statement in Switzerland on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement was dictated by ethical norms, Rector of V. Brusov State Linguistic University of Yerevan, political scientist Suren Zolyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
Note that during his visit to Switzerland, Gul said Ankara is resolute over ratification of the protocols on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement.
“Being in Switzerland, Gul had to speak about the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement. He either had to strongly criticize Armenia, which would be unacceptable by Switzerland, or to make a positive statement,” Zolyan said.
According to the expert, indeed, Gul does not expect new developments in Armenian-Turkish rapprochement.
“Presently, not Gul but Erdogan compiles Turkey’s agenda,” Zolyan stated.
