/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan is deeply concerned over the results of
recent talks between Armenia and Turkey, an Armenian professor said.
"Karabakh problem is no more a precondition for establishment of
Armenian-Turkish relations. Turkish Foreign Minister said openly that
lack of progress in Karabakh talks doesn’t mean that Turkey should
wait unless there is such," professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of
NAS RA Institute of Oriental Studies, told a news conference today.
He also reminded that the Turkish delegation which visited Azerbaijan
lately did not include any representative of AK ruling party.
" There is one more interesting fact. Azerbaijan and Turkey are already
contradicting each other. Turkish President Abdullah Gul said progress
was fixed during the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Prague while the Azeri
side stated no progress was achieved," ," professor Safrastyan said.
