RA-Turkey rapprochement will hamper international recognition of Armenian Genocide
"RA-Turkey rapprochement process significantly harmed international recognition of Armenian Genocide," ex-NKR FM Arman Melikyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
According to Melikyan, superpowers will base non-recognition of Armenian Genocide on the fact that the issue was removed from international to RA-Turkey relations format.
Dwelling on recent anti-Turkish mood prevalent in Azerbaijan (burning of Turkish flag or Turkish leaders' portraits) he emphasized that the fact shouldn't be given much importance. "Today Azerbaijanis are burning Turkish flags, but then, tomorrow they might paint the flags on their own faces, should NKR issue be resoled in their favor," Arman Melikyan noted.
