Armenia-Turkey talks | A thread
1/8 Talks on establishing relations between Armenia & Turkey started today in Moscow, where special envoys of 2 countries met and held negotiations. Last time AM & TR have launched similar process in 2008-2011 called "Football diplomacy".

[Dr. Varuzhan Geghamyan @GVaruzhan]

My comments on Turkey and Armenia's parliament elections appeared on BBC.
I argue that Turkey is interested in Armenia's current government's victory as it will further make concessions towards Turkish preconditions.

I remember @SelimKoru 's post on this issue, which coincided with my research on "Reis":
https://t.co/veLFG3rRlM

[Dr. Varuzhan Geghamyan @GVaruzhan]

Our article on Erdoğan's title "Reis" is finally out.
The title Reis has emerged as a popular nickname for Erdoğan. While majority of studies consider this title merely as a superficial element of the authoritarian rule, we argue that it's a significant political symbol.

[Dr. Varuzhan Geghamyan @GVaruzhan]

Being constructed by various actors it serves to legitimize not only Erdoğan’s personal authority, but also to disseminate authorities’ dominant ideological discourses and narratives, thereby providing popular mobilization around them. https://t.co/SaySchLnYA

@SinanCiddi Where this is taken from?

[Dr. Varuzhan Geghamyan @GVaruzhan]

The name of this security company from Beirut is definitely not the best to attract customers.

I took the photo in one of the central streets of Beirut.

@Minassian24 100% correct.

[Dr. Varuzhan Geghamyan @GVaruzhan]

Today, 50 years ago Turkey started the occupation of Cyprus.
While still there are some negotiations, Turkey continues to build a full Turkish state there.
In recent years it also developed a new concept along with Azerbaijan: "One nation, three states", which includes Cyprus.
