YEREVAN. - Society approaches and existing governance in Turkey suggest that no significant changes in the settlement of Armenian-Turkish relations should be expected in the near future, expert in Turkish studies Ruben Melkonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

 “Way of thinking and actions of the Turkish political machine do not contribute to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations. Moreover, recent developments show that stereotypes and exaggerations are typical for the Turkish political mechanism,” said deputy head of oriental studies department at the Yerevan State University Ruben Melkonyan.

He considers Turkey’s leadership has no real desire to settle the Armenian-Turkish relations. Meanwhile, ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols has become real pain and problem for Turkey which requires urgent solution.

During the last months of 2011 different international organizations, heads of some states have issued statements to put it mildly, condemning Turkey, said Meklonyan.

These statements show that the international community doubts Ankara’s readiness to normalize relations with Armenia.
