ECONOMIC BENEFIT FROM POSSIBLE ESTABLISHMENT OF RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND ARMENIA IS KEY SUBJECT OF POLITICAL DISPUTE IN ANKARA
Yerevan, February 13. ArmInfo. The economic benefit from possible
establishment of relations between Turkey and Armenia is the key
subject of the political dispute in Ankara, the report of the Jane's
research center says.
According to the experts, the settlement of the Armenian issue may
give a new political privilege to the Turkish government, and the
improvement of relations with Armenia may shake the positions of those
who are against Turkey's admission to the EU. These positions have
consolidated after the murder of Hrant Dink, an Armenian journalist
and Turkish citizen.
Nevertheless, according to the source, a very small part of
the Turkish elite mainly consisting of progressive people with
pro-Western orientation realizes the necessity of normal relations
with Armenia. After Hrant Dink's murder, the Turkish society expressed
amazing sympathy with Armenians. For a short period of time at least,
this sympathy united two nations with historical hostility towards
each other. The tragic event also contributed to the progress in the
political life of the country, and here a great role belongs to the
public opinion which started reappraise Turkey's policy with respect
to Armenia.
