Sargsyan's invitation may drive Turkey into a corner
It is not by chance that Armenia's Serzh Sargsyan invited Turkish President Abdullah Gul to watch a World Cup qualifying game between the Turkish and Armenian teams due in Yerevan on September 6 August by, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
"Actually, Armenia's move may drive Turkey into a corner. Gul's rejection to visit Armenia may be evaluated as unavailability to launch a dialogue with Armenia, while Armenians consider the possible visit of Turkish President as the start of dialogue between the countries
Serious popularization was carried out in Turkey before Gul was invited to Yerevan. Dismissal of Pf. Yusuf Halacoglu, head of the Turkish Historical Society, who attempted to prove the claims of Armenian genocide as false, gave an impetus to further disseminate the Armenian propaganda in Turkey
Another evidence of development of relations between Turkey and Armenia is opening of the Armenian language and literature faculty in one of Nevsehir Universities.
Turkish Ministry of Education has established the faculty upon receipt of official permission from the Foreign Ministry, Pf. Mehmet Metin Hulagu was quoted as saying to Habertime news agency.
The faculty would play a role of bridge between the two countries Taking into account that there are few specialists in Turkey, who can speak Armenian, such specialists will be attracted from Armenia, according to him.
It would be naive to interpret actuation of the Turkish-Armenian relations as accidental. The European Union is also interested in normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations and opening of borders, which is the EU's main demand from Turkey.
All the aforesaid make us think that the deadlock between Turkey and Armenia is broken. Armenia's glory depends on Turkey, which is facing another historical choice," the article says.
