Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Ruben Safrastyan spoke about the current stage of Armenia-Turkish relations and the perspectives of development.
According to Safrastyan's assessment, no fundamental changes have taken place in Turkish-Armenian relations. Turning to "football diplomacy," Ruben Safrastyan said the relations established between the Presidents of the two countries will be followed by the establishment of diplomatic relations.
"To evaluate the current stage of Armenian-Turkish relations it is necessary to compare those with the phase that existed a few years ago. There have been no fundamental changes, there are no diplomatic relations. There are, however, certain positive moves connected with football diplomacy," Ruben Safrastyan said, meaning the direct contacts between the Presidents of Armenia and Turkey. According to the speaker, these relations tend to continue.
