There may also be an issue with the turn signal switch itself. If the four way flashers work but the turn signal does not, it may be the turn signal switch on the column. PN 61-31-1-377-987. to replace, remove "button" at the center of the steering wheel by prying it out, remove nut retaining the steering wheel, and then remove the plastic shroud and the under dash cover to access the wiring connectors (non air bag car only)

The left turn signal works, its only the right that does not.Can it be possible that it is broken only on one side?

Definitely try a turn signal switch to see if the issue goes away.
