Ankara has phobias about Armenia, which became more intense in RA-Turkish rapprochement process, member of RF Public Chamber, ORT channel presenter Maxim Shevchenko told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. ''Turks, too, have a number of historical myths regarding Armenians. 20th century events were cruel and bloody. But I believe that even maintaining historical memory, people of Armenia and Turkey can establish peace in the region,'' Russian journalist said.

''Both countries, as well as Russia, will benefit from RA-Turkish rapprochement. The great Armenian nation will be finally able to restore its historic status,'' Maxim Shevchenko said.
