YEREVAN, JUNE 3, ARMENPRESS: The Turkish-Israeli relations will be
sharpened only in appearance, as Turkey cannot absolutely freeze
its relations with Israel, Turkish scientist Hakob Chakryan said
today at a press conference, adding that Turkey does not have such
an opportunity. According to him, the anti-Israeli statements of the
Turkish authorities may raise anti-Semitic moods in the Turkish society
which one day will result in real sharpening of the Turkish-Israeli
relations.
Speaking about the demands of Turkey forwarded to Israel on
compensation, conduction of independent investigation and apology,
the Turkish expert expressed opinion that Israel will do the first
two but will not ask for apology. "It may be witnessed by the recent
statement of Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel is
not going to apologize as it was only a self-defense. The utmost Israel
may do connected with the incident is the resignation of the defense
minister, though I do not much believe in it," Hakob Chakryan said.
According to him, the analyses of the recent events showed that the
role of Turkey in the Islamic and Arab world and especially in Gaza
is growing. "In spite of it the Israeli opportunities are not limited
and that country may neutralize Turkish abilities."
May 31 the Israeli navy attacked Turkish ship traveling to Gaza
killing nine people.
