    The process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations has hit
    a deadlock, according to professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of the
    RA NAS Institute of Oriental Studies.

    "The United States and Turkey are just haggling and the issue of
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Washington is a part of
    this haggle," he told reporters on April 14. "Some progress may be
    expected if Ankara wrings concessions from the U.S. Nevertheless,
    the protocols will not be completely ratified.

    Commenting on Armenian President's visit to Washington, prof.

    Safrastyan said that Armenia won't make concessions either over
    Karabakh or the Armenian Genocide issue.

    "Official Yerevan appears as a reliable partner, unlike Ankara,"
    he said.

    Asked whether U.S. President Barack Obama may use the term Genocide
    in his April 24 address, prof. Safrastyan said he doesn't exclude
    such a possibility.
