ARMENIAN-KURDISH RELATIONS UNDERGO NEGATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS
- Armenian relations are undergoing negative transformations, according to Andrey Areshev, deputy director of Strategic Culture Foundation. “Anti-Armenian publications in Kurdish media are met more frequently. It’s an alarming tendency, which should be prevented,” he said. “Under the USSR, Armenia was a center of soviet Kurds. However, the image has faded since 1991. On the other hand, Turkish government’s policy will tell on Kurds’ attitude about Armenia and Armenians.” “There is no doubt that western analytical centers follow developments in relations between Armenia and neighbor states and try to influence the situation. We can just recollect how the situation at the Armenian-Georgian border tensed during the debates on Armenia-Turkey protocols,” Areshev said, Analitika.at.ua reported.
