"“Gul’s election will not affect Armenian-Turkish relations” “Today’s Turkey isn’t the same as five or ten years ago. Today there are strong movements there, which we can use to our advantage.” Thus stated Lebanese-Armenian political scientists Asbed Koochigian today at a meeting with journalists at the “Friday” club. In his words, the Islamic Party is represented by Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, whose victory could leave the impression that Turkey is looking eastward, but more important is the relation Gul will have with the military. The speaker says that in the case of a lack of cooperation between the two, the danger of a military revolution exists, yet in the case of cooperation, the contents will be what count, which will determine the progress of the country."
