ArmInfo.Peaceful coexistence with Turkey is impossible. This opinion is shared by the deputy from the parliamentary faction "Prosperous Armenia", Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Vahe Enfiajyan.
At the same time, the deputy speaker gave eight arguments for the words spoken. In particular, according to him, Turkey speaks with Armenia in the language of preconditions, demanding the rejection of Artsakh and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
"Turkey closed the border with Armenia in 1993, violating the right of the landlocked states, as I have repeatedly stated at the meetings of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. Turkey has provided open military assistance to Azerbaijan, using the latest weapons. Turkey has hired special units, terrorists to participate in the Artsakh war. Turkey prepared and directed Azerbaijan's military aggression against us. The issue of depriving Armenia of the army was discussed with Azerbaijan in the Turkish parliament a few months ago. Turkey is struggling with international pressure on Azerbaijan in connection with the Armenian prisoners of war. Turkey encroaches on the sovereign territories of Armenia, perceiving them as important transit territories, " the Deputy Speaker said.
In conclusion, Enfiajian asked whether Turkey really does not perceive Armenia as an enemy. It should be noted that in recent weeks, representatives of the authorities at various levels have begun to lobby for the need to establish friendly relations with Turkey. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Secretary of the Security Council Armen Grigoryan, Deputy Speaker of the "My Step" Lena Nazaryan, and a number of other state officials spoke about this. Note that while such statements cause a violent negative reaction among the general public.
