WITH THE PURPOSE OF DISTRACTING ATTENTION
Some people notice positive accentuations in Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan’s congratulatory message addressed to Mr. Ed. Nalbandyan. However, political scientist ARMEN AYVAZYAN believes that all this is the successive deception. “Every year before April 24, the Turkish state officials make similar positive statements, saying the relations with Armenia are about to improve.
All this is done with the purpose of distracting the attention of the international community; just in order to say ‘we are already having a dialogue with Armenia, and there’s no need to use pressure against us.’ ”
