/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian expert David Davtyan doesn’t think that
any outside force is interested in compelling Armenian authorities
to sign some wittingly losing documents.

"Unfortunately, today the essence of Armenian-Turkish talks is vague,
since Armenia does not impose concrete conditions on Turkey. Thus,
a comparison inevitably comes to mind: official Yerevan merely
establishes diplomatic relations with Ankara, without solving
national priority tasks, which is wittingly disadvantageous for
the Armenian Cause, but can be profitable for country’s economy,"
he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to him, it is important to realize who pushed Yerevan
into Turkey’s arms and who is the ideologist of normalizing
relations. "Russia realized clearly, that Armenian-Turkish
reconciliation would make variance between Ankara and Baku. That made
Azerbaijan address Moscow to bargain support in the Karabakh issue,"
he said, adding that dynamics of recent Russian-Turkish relations are
characterized by the growth in turnover, political approximation and
common geopolitical interest.

"In this situation Armenia with its legitimate claims to Ankara,
becomes a buffer in fulfillment of certain plans. The U.S., yielding
to Moscow in influence over Yerevan, quickly patterned its behavior
and started to play own geopolitical solitaire, trying to extract some
profit from the situation. Actually, Armenian-Turkish negotiations
conceal a geopolitical game which can change world’s power balance,"
stressed Davtyan.
