Armenian writer Hakob Movses is pessimistic about development of the Armenian-Turkish relations. “Our countries do not have the political, social, economic and cultural bases to create a positive atmosphere for developing relations,” Hakob Movses said today at a press conference. “From a political point of view, every action is a” commodity “. Accordingly, the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is also a commodity, which either we offer or is offered to us. It is not clear how much this product costs. The situation is limited to the emotional approach ,” he added. With regard to the possible cultural expansion, according to Hakob Movses, cultural expansion can be avoided, “if each of us will be a bearer of his culture. Turkish culture will penetrates our culture as much as a Turk lives inside of every of us.”
Speaking about recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey, the writer noted:
“I do not believe in it. Turkey is a State having the burden of immoral act on its conscience, a country that has never deny their panturkism plans. Armenia is a “bone in the throat” for Turkey in respect to dissemination of panturanism ideas.
