No developments to take place in Armenian-Turkish process in 2011
No developments will take place in the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process in 2011, due to the forthcoming elections in Turkey, Turkologist Artak Shakaryan told a press conference in Yerevan.
According to the expert, some progress is possible in the Armenian-Turkish normalization process only in September.
“Armenia will be holding elections in 2012, and the bitter experience of Armenian-Turkish rapprochement of the past two years will not allow us to take a step towards Ankara,” the expert said in his remarks.
