Unexpected scenarios are not excluded in the development of
Turkish-Armenian relations, says former NKR Foreign Minister Arman
Melikyan. According to him, a possible scenario could be Turkey’s
decision to "leave" the US and this will lead to the Turkish-Russian
alliance.

Melikyan says that as a result, Armenia may lose both the liberated
territories and Artsakh. "The Turkish-Russian alliance may be more
preferable for Russia than the Russian-Armenian relations," said
Arman Melikyan at "Artsakh" club.

If the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations fails, according
to Melikyan, Turkey will strengthen its anti-Armenian actions in
the region.

"The failure of this process will lead to the point where we will
acquire an additional active opponent and enemy. I think the Armenian
government is disoriented and doesn’t know how to get out of this
situation," said Melikyan.
