/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Progress in Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, mentioned
in U.S. intelligence official’s testimony before the Senate Committee
was not meant as a compliment to Turkey, director of Armenian Center
for National and International Studies (ACNIS), Richard Giragosian
stated.

The statement of the Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis
Blair on the possibility of war in Caucasus was meant for Azerbaijan,
as the only country opposed to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, Richard
Giragosian noted, adding, "Every word is being carefully chosen in
a statement of that scale."

"Turkey’s attitude was never mentioned in the statement, which might
suggest it is not of major importance to US," he pointed out.
