YEREVAN. – Turkey is attempting to revive the initiative to normalize relations with Armenia, and this is linked to the current unfavorable regional conditions for Turkey and, primarily, to the approaching 2015, when the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide will be commemorated.  

Turkologist Andranik Ispiryan noted the aforementioned at a press conference on Thursday.

In Ispiryan’s words, information was recently disseminated in the Turkish media about the need for an initiative to normalize relations with Armenia, and this information was followed by the statements of Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu.   

As per the turkologist, however, there is nothing new in Davutoglu’s statements in connection with normalizing relations with Armenia. What is more, according to Andranik Ispiryan, Davutoglu again posits the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement as a precondition for normalizing relations, and this implies that the normalization process is at an impasse.
