Turkey wants to establish normal relations with Armenia, said Turkish MP Ravza Kavakçı Kan, who is also deputy chairperson of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), speaking to the Voice of America.

In her view, however, the issue of Armenian Genocide—which Kavakçı Kan does not recognize—should be resolved to normalize these relations.

But James Jeffrey, the former US Ambassador to Turkey and Iraq, is more cautious with respect to the prospects for the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations.

As per the diplomat, these relations are under a thick layer of ice because Turkey views Armenia as an ally of the Russians and the Iranians.

According to Jeffrey, even though the US can help the parties improve their relations, the White House will soon be busy with more urgent matters. 

James Jeffrey added, however, that Turkey is suspicious of America ever since US President Woodrow Wilson’s policy towards Turkey 100 years ago.
