Armenia must not renounce its past
The Armenian-Turkish relations are represented by media in both states at emotional and nationalist level, said Alexander Iskandaryan, director of the Caucasus Media Institute.

"Nevertheless, we have to work proceeding from the reality and in this view I should say that Armenia prefers long process of Turkey's accession to the EU rather than the accession itself or opening of the border.

Armenian must never renounce its past, because in this case Turks will be the first to lose respect towards us.
