/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s Caucasus Stability and Cooperation
Platform will cause a crack in traditional Turkish-Azerbaijani
relations. Actually, any Turkey’s step toward Armenia is a step
against Azerbaijan, Richard Giragosian, a contributing analyst at
Jane’s Information Group, said during a round table discussion today.
"During my recent visit to Turkey I concluded that that Turkish
officials view opening of the border with Armenia as a possibility
to stabile the economy in eastern regions," he said.
"Besides, they think that opening of the border will alleviate tensions
over the Armenian Genocide recognition. This initiative will allow
Ankara to deeply engage in resolution of regional problems," the
expert said.
