DOES TURKEY DEMAND ITS SHARE IN FUTURE NUCLEAR POWER STATION?
- Today, a discussion entitled “Current state of Armenian-Turkish intergovernmental relations and route map” was held, initiated by Ararat Strategic Studies Center. Representatives of social organizations and intelligentsia participated in the discussion. According to public opinion poll conducted by our center, Armenians all over the world are greatly concerned about Armenian-Turkish intergovernmental negotiations dubbed football diplomacy, Ararat Strategic Studies Center Manger Armen Ayvazyan stated. According to him, RA authorities’ anti-Armenian policy resulted in Armenia’s accepting preconditions bound upon them by Turkish authorities. Armen Ayvazyan dwelled on creation of Armenian and Turkish historians joint committee, acknowledgement of present borders with Turkey and stresses Turkey’s particular interest to new Armenian Nuclear Power Station construction. Turkey aspiring to become the new NPS shareholder is very dangerous to Armenia. This threatens national security of our country. He also emphasized that signing of Armenian –Turkish agreement on the eve of Apr. 24, when Armenians all over the worlds commemorated Armenian Genocide victims, was unacceptable. Representatives of intelligentsia, social organizations and youth also expressed their opinions on the issue.
