Armenian-Turkish relations have reached a deadlock, and although
its reasons are partially correct but they do not give a final
answer to the question, Vice Speaker of the National Assembly of
Armenia Vahan Hovhannisyan said during the parliamentary hearings on
"Armenian-Turkish relations: Issues and perspectives."
According to Mr. Hovhannisyan, cooperation has never been established
between democracies and autocracies. At the same time, he noted
that he is far from the idea that Armenia is a already a country of
classical democracy. However, according to the Vice-Speaker, Turkey
is a classical example of dictatorship, since it tries to control
not only the present, but also the past. That is the reason why any
serious investigation of the Armenian Genocide and its reasons is
excluded, and the information about these events is closed for the
Turkish society. Besides, according to him, until murderers like
Taleat Pasha, Enver and Jamal are considered to be national heroes,
"nothing will come out."
