I hope our authorities clearly know what they are going to demand from Turkey against the normalization of relations, Professor of the California University Richard Hovhannisyan said during a scientific conference in Yerevan dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Adana Massacres. In his opinion, the more access Armenia has to the outer world, the better.
The attention of the society has been recently focused on the further relations between Armenia and Turkey, especially the opening of the border. Historians, political scientists, economists have been trying to analyze what the opening of the border will give us, and how our relations with the neighbor country will develop.
We know that the Turkish side is very experienced, very adroit and flexible. We should always be cautious and I do hope that our state has a clear program, which sets our demands, Richard Hovhannisyan stated. The most important is to have a clear and planned approach, he added.
We know that Turks are very flexible and will use the policy of we are in dialogue, dont disturb the process, which we should be cautious of, Richard Hovhannisyan said.
