We’ll say it’s ours, the Turkish that it’s theirs

“We understand that having relations is inescapable, but we will face obstacles when the Armenian and the Turkish start having relation with each other as their perception about us, and our perception about us and them is totally different and there are a lot of distorted facts, our perceptions totally differ and many facts are created, a lot of things have become a hostage to politics”, - Aharon Adibekyan the director of the “Sociometer” sociological center thinks.

A. Adibekyan informed that the historical realities, the cultural heritage and the identification are distorted which will serve the reason for conflicts between the two nations. As an example the sociologist informed that in the Azerbaijani sites is said that “even Iran is an Azerbaijani country and the Azeri get surprised what the Persians do there”, besides whatever is found in Armenia and Iran are called Azerbaijani heritage.

“The Turkish call themselves premium nation in the Modern Asia, they think they have 5 thousand years old history, they are originally from Asia and all the nations now living in the present territory of Turkey have been their successors”, - A. Adibekyan said and added, - “If we leave for Turkey tomorrow, we see our breeds there, our cuisine, our songs and dances, architecture and say that all these is ours, the Turkish will answer that it is theirs as they have been convinced for many years that it is Turkish.”

On this occasion the sociologist mentioned that the real problems are not in political, economic, diplomatic relations which can be solved but the humane relations. “How are we going to solve the humane factor”, - asked Aharon Adibekyan summing up his speech.
