/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Serzh Sargsyan is not to blame for Turkey’s
permitting itself to discuss NKR issue. Using football terminology,
one could say the first "pass" to Turkey was made by RA first President
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, and not Serzh Sargsyan. The blame must not be
shifted on current RA President, politologist Sergey Shakaryants told
a news conference in Yerevan.
"Some might have forgotten, but still, Turkey is a member of MG OSCE,
NKR conflict settlement mediator, so Turkey can’t be forbidden from
discussing NKR-related issues with other Presidents," RA politologist
noted. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan seems to love Turkey. But then, we’re
living in a democratic country," the politologist emphasized.
"Turkey is no more what is was once. If earlier Turkey was a strong
state, which could allow itself to advise Armenia on different issues,
currently it is in rather deplorable state and allows itself to be
manipulated," Shakaryants noted.
