ArmInfo. Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations the only issue
the USA, Russia and EU have no disagreements on in the region, says
Richard Giragosian, Director of the Armenian Center of National and
International Studies (ACNIS).

He thinks that the USA, Russia and the EU are waiting for actions
by Turkey. He is sure that the USA and Russia will exert pressure on
Turkey within the coming weeks since Turkey disappointed them by its
inconsistent policy. The expert supposes that activation of the process
on recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Washington may be one of
the measures of pressure on Turkey. "Barack Obama may use protraction
of ratification of the protocols to show how strong leaders he is,"
Giragosian says.
