    "TURKEY SHOULD MAKE GESTURES OF GOOD WILL TO ARMENIA"

    APA

    Baku - APA. In an article published by Carnegie Endowment, Turkey and
    Armenia are called to take confidence building measures to revive the
    process of normalization, APA reports quoting turkishny.com web-page.

    The article listed opening of borders to tourists, invitation of
    diaspora Armenians to Turkey and initiation of Yerevan-Istanbul
    flights by Turkish airlines as important steps that can be made and
    called Turkey to make gestures of goodwill to Armenia.

    Before the meetings that U.S. President Barack Obama will hold with
    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Armenian President Serzh
    Sarksyan during this week and before April 24th, American think tank
    organization Carnegie Endowment published an article and called Turkey
    to make gestures of good will towards Armenia to revive the process
    "after a year of dragging feet".

    Washington based think tank organization Carnegie Endowment's
    experienced Russia and Eurasia expert Thomas de Waal published an
    article entitled "Armenia and Turkey: Bridging the Gap" and wrote
    that current crisis between Turkey and Armenia will reach a head by
    April 24.

    The author stated that almost no hope exists about ratification of
    protocols which signed by two countries any time soon and called
    countries to make little steps to build confidence and to confirm
    their belief on the process.

    Stating that ratification of protocols will end the loneliness of
    Armenia and let Turkey gain a new role in Caucasus, Thomas de Waal
    called Turkey to open Turkish-Armenian border for tourists, to open
    Ottoman archives and digitalize whole archive, to invite Armenian
    diaspora to visit Anatolia and to initiate of Istanbul-Yerevan flights.

    Political expert said that Armenia should end isolation of Nakhichevan
    in return although it stresses that there is no connection between
    Nagorno-Karabakh problem and Turkish-Armenian normalization process.
