Armenian expert: Meetings of presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan also
imply the Armenian-Turkish relations in their context

"The current stage of the negotiation process between Armenia and
Azerbaijan is highly intensive", said chairman of the Noravank
scientific research center Gagik Arutyunyan.

"Armenian side seems to be trying to seize the initiative in
diplomatic rivalry", announced Arutyunyan adding also that the
"Sargsyan-Aliyev meetings currently imply the Armenian-Turkish
relations in their context. Yet so far there are not even indirect
signs of the possible real changes in the result of the Petersburg
meeting".

At the same time the expert considers that the political circles of
some states have the opinion that "the worst peace is better than a
good war". He said "elites consider that Armenia and Turkey and
Azerbaijan must strike a peace treaty like France and Germany did
after the second world war".

"I can not fully rule out the development by this script", announced
Arutyunyan.

Commenting on the statement of leader of the Armenian national
congress Levon Ter-Petrosyan that he does not recognize any document,
signed by Serzh Sargsyan, Arutyunyan said the following: Regarding the
statement about "the legal non-recognition of the president’s
decisions", I believe it was made also in the context of possible
agreements with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Thus the congress shows that at
this stage the organization will stake not only on the social and
legal but also the national factor".

Moreover, the expert noted that the "denial of the mandate showed that
despite the statements regarding "constitutional fight methods", the
congress does not accept "civil" political methods and remains loyal
to its "areal" tactics. "It can not be ruled out that the alternative
in a form of participation in mayor’s activity, demanding everyday
political work and real efforts- is not for the congress", said
Arutyunyan adding at the same time that "here it would be good to draw
some analogues with Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova in the context of
export of new generation of "color technologies".
