"Armenia needs to study neighboring states' national psychology to be able to predict their activities, dispositions and goals," psychologist Albert Nalbandyan told today a press conference devoted to national psychology and ideology in the context of Armenian-Turkish relations. Armenians do not have a uniform ideology on Armenian-Turkish relations, the psychologist finds. "Armenian political elite views Armenian-Turkish relations from the angle of the present-day situation only. We have already made mistakes in our dialogue with Turkey, so we need to consider all the pros and cons of the process," Nalchadjyan stressed.

In his turn, politologist, Doctor of Political Sciences Levon Shirinyan noted that Armenian-Turkish process posed danger to Armenia. "In this way, Armenia attempts to change the strategic ratio of forces in South Caucasus, and superpowers may disapprove of such step." Armenian-Turkish border opening, according to Shirinyan, will only contribute to the economic development of Kurdish-populated regions of the neighboring country and the population of Western Armenian territories. Besides, Ankara will demand that Armenia withdraw Russian bases from its territory, the politologist is convinced.
