YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The Nagorno Karabakh problem
is just an occasion for Turkey to delay the ratification of the
protocols. Political scientist Igor Muradian expressed such an opinion
at a November 16 press conference. In his words, Turkey has understood
that the protocols is a plot against it, planned by the U.S. and
coordinated with Europe. According to the political scientist, its
goal it to suppress Turkey.
"To all appearances, Turkey is not interested in the Nagorno Karabakh
problem. Now Turkey needs to stop the process with Armenia," I.
Muradian said. According to him, neither Armenia nor Turkey are ready
for the continuation of that process on their own. One of the most
important issues is whether the U.S. will be able to be a guarantor in
the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations till the
end. However, in his opinion, the U.S. is no longer able to support
that process, thanks to which Russia gains dividends.
I. Muradian also said that in all probability, a long pause is expected
in the normalization process of Armenian-Turkish relations.
