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 Hovhannissian said during the parliamentary hearings on
"Armenian-Turkish relations: Issues and perspectives."
According to Mr. Hovhannissian, 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 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."
