/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish-Azerbaijani relations are not ordinary
relations between two countries, a Turkish expert said.
"Both countries’ priorities and interests are overlapping. Advocating
Baku’s interests, Turkey is actually protecting its own interests. No
one can blame Turkey for protecting its own interests. Under the
circumstances, Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s decision to visit
Yerevan on the 6th September 2008 was a great risk," Sinan Ogan,
Chair of the Turkish Center for International Relations and Strategic
Analysis, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
Turkey wants peace, stability and welfare in the region, according
to him.
"We are not at loggerheads with, Armenia. Therefore, we do not have
any intention to exclude Armenia from projects. If there is peace in
the region, Armenia can join all regional projects including the energy
ones. It can also join Nabucco. Everything is in its hands," he said.
