Armenian political expert: Serzh Sargsyan most likely to make trip to Turkey

“Protocols made public by Armenian and Turkey first of all point to a new stage in the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations and willingness of the parties to continue the process regardless of the complexity of the regional context,” Minasyan said.

“Secondly, they point to political decision Ankara has made to fully normalize relations with Yerevan and serious impact of this decision by U.S. and the EU. At the same time, mechanism of implementation of these protocols (for example, 6 weeks for “internal consultations”) indicate serious limitations both in the Armenian and the Turkish leadership with regard to domestic policy and a need to prepare societies of both countries to the final stage - establishment of full diplomatic relations and opening of borders,” Minasyan said.

“Under current conditions, Serzh Sargsyan is most likely to visit Turkey especially considering that the so-called “6 weeks” exactly coincide with the date of October 14 -date a soccer match between Turkish and Armenian national teams,” the political expert said asked whether the president Serzh Sargsyan will trip to Turkey to watch return football match.

“Moreover, perhaps the afore-said protocols will be signed during the visit and “meter” of final stage in normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey will be launched,” Minasyan said.
