/PanARMENIAN.Net/ World media started brainstorming around developments
of the Armenian-Turkish relations , and in these conditions, the
Karabakh issue was removed from the agenda, political scientist Levon
Shirinyan told a news conference in Yerevan today.

"Concurrently to the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish
relations, Armenia should not lose sight of the Karabakh process, being
one of the main priorities of Armenia’s foreign policy," political
scientist noted. According to him, the Armenian side would better
suspend negotiations if Baku returns to its former military rhetoric.

In turn, the head of Analytical Center for Globalization and Regional
Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan expressed his view, that although
the Protocol on normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations
literally does not mention the Karabakh conflict, however, Turkey
will try to accelarate its steps in this process. "If the Turkish
side would try again to lay the Karabakh issue as a precondition,
Yerevan can declare the suspension of negotiations with Ankara,"
the political analyst said.
