Armenia must be ready for Turkey's provocations on the threshold of the Armenian Genocide's centennial, Artak Shakaryan, turkologist, told media. Wednesday.
"Three years have passed since the day of signing the Armenian-Turkish protocols and our relations with Turkey have just deteriorated. The latest landing of the Yerevan-Aleppo-Yerevan plane in Erzrum is the best evidence of that. Although, there was a preliminary arrangement on technical landing of the Armenian plane in Turkey, official Ankara presented it as forced landing, which is another example of successful provocation by the Turkish authorities," he said.
Shakaryan is sure that the Armenian Genocide issue should be transferred to the international legal field where highly qualified lawyers will study and provide documentary facts on the genocide. The expert said that no positive steps should be expected from Turkish historians because they will never recognize that fact.
Earlier on October 15 Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that an Armenian plane with humanitarian aid was forced to land at Erzrum airport due to certain violations. Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tigran Balayan said, in turn, that it was planned landing coordinated with the Turkish party. High security measures were taken during landing.
