Sergey Shakaryants: Turkish response to RA president’s speech was manifestation of emotions

YEREVAN, AUGUST 9, ARMENPRESS: Turkish response to Armenian President's speech in Tsakhkadzor was a manifestation of emotions and for internal use, political specialist Sergey Shakaryants said in an interview with Armenpress, commenting on the fact that "Hurriyet" has accepted the remark of presenting the answers to the questions of the participants of Olympiad for Armenian Studies in Tsakhkadzor in a distorted way.

"The language of emotions is not acceptable in the political field: this is the same as Greece or Cyprus mentioned that the Turks must apologize to them," the political specialist said, adding that Turkey goes on remaining in a strange situation: one of the arrested generals is appointed a representative of Turkey in NATO, changes are made in the headquarters.

According to him, under the shadow of the fact that the discussions, according to which the USA also exerts efforts for resuming the regulation process of Armenian-Turkish relations, have made Turkey as a bad pupil omit those words not to break that bridge.

"For that very reason it is evident that it was for inner use: in the end Turkish nationalists uninterruptedly blame the country's authority that they have drawn back from the Kemal ideas. And suchlike behavior of Turkey was a justification of anti-Armenian moods," Mr. Shakaryants stressed.
