    TURKEY'S DISAPPOINTMENTS AND DOUBTS

    There is a kind of pause in process of normalisation of Armenia-Turkey
    relations, which are to be activated within a certain time period, said
    at today's press conference Director of the Genocide Museum-Institute
    Dr. Hyke Demoyan.

    Through its statements, Turkey is trying to get into time-trouble to
    insure itself, as in chess-language, against Zugzwang, says Dr. Hyke
    Demoyan.

    "Powers didn't respond to Turkey's statements that it was making after
    Armenian Constitutional Court's decision. So Turkey understood Armenia
    wouldn't make a concession in the issue of the Karabakh settlement.

    And this is the first disappointment. The second one refers to
    Turkey's expectations that Armenia would make a concession in the
    issue of the international recognition of Genocide," said historian.

    Hyke Demoyan said he believes Turkey realizes that cannot expect
    from Armenia in the issue of borders more than it has got under
    international treaties. Historian pointed that we are watching the
    process of 'how difficult to Turkey is to lose Azerbaijan', and not
    'how difficult to Turkey is to open the border and reconcile with
    Armenia.

    "In this situation the both sides will be guided by the principle of
    paying less and getting more. As April marks the symbolic line, the
    "red cards" period will start for Turkey's attempts to fasten down
    and fail Armenia-Turkey relations," said Hyke Demoyan.

    If the process of reconciliation fails, Turkey will either face
    serious domestic problems, or will normlise relations with Armenia
    and open the border.
