Normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations depends on Turkey's readiness to face its past, expert Hrachya Arzumanyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Turkey should treat Armenia as an equal, according to him.

"For its part, the Armenian people should be ready for challenges and assess international developments adequately. They should protect their national interests and immediately react to the mutating situation," Arzumanyan said.
