Non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide can deprive Turkey of the possibility of the EU membership, head of the department of Turkey at the RA Academy of Sciences, Doctor Ruben Safrastyan stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. As for Turkey’s position on the U.S.-Iran opposition, Safrastyan considers that the Turkish diplomacy has already activated to derive the maximal benefit from U.S. interest in Turkey. “In case of hostilities it will render limited assistance to the United States. However it will happen in case it receives considerable concessions in exchange” he said.
