At the same time we should not forget that all things, which happen in that country most of all concern Armenia, than any other country in the region," Ruben Safrastyan, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the RA NAS (National Academy of Sciences) stated at the round table organized by the Turkish Department of that institute. He said in any cases it is all the same for Armenia which party will rule in Turkey. "Indeed, it is easier to speak with one party than with several parties. I want to remind that when in 2002 AKP became the ruling party in the country, some rumours occurred about establishing economic cooperation with Armenia in order to normalize relations. However, they remained on the level of rumours," Safrastyan underscored. Top stories Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive.
