/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In fact, Turkey has already left Azerbaijan alone
in Nagorno- Karabakh problem settlement, Alexander Iskandaryan, the
director of Caucasus Institute said to the reporters. According to him,
the very fact of the start of Armenian-Turkish relations proves that
Karabakh conflict is no longer on the agenda for the normalization
of the relations. It became clear to everybody long ago that Armenia
will never exchange Karabakh for the border opening. The pledges by
Turkish officials regarding Baku that Turkey will always support
Azerbaijan in Karabakh conflict are nothing but pledges. They are
given not only for Azerbaijan’s sake, but also for Turkey’s sake-
for its internal benefit. Local authority elections are to be held on
March 29, in Turkey, and Recep Erdoghan’s ruling party must strengthen
its hand. Turkey is now undergoing the change of business-elites,
and every politician strives to look more nationalistic than its
opponent, Iskandaryan said.
