YEREVAN, JULY 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian-Turkish relations
worsened for even more in consequence of the negotiations process
of their normalization, that process did not give any results in the
respect of regional security, mutual understanding and establishment
of relations. Analyst Igor Muradian expressed such an opinion at a
press conference on July 8. According to him, Turkey, which considers
Armenia as a factor of exerting pressure upon it by great powers,
occupied a very convenient position: it will not open the border with
Armenia till the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement.
I. Muradian, who has been at the sources of Karabakh movement since
1988, thinks that there is no Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
as such at present, everything that happens is only an imitation,
and no one is interested in the solution of the problem. According to
the analyst, the Nagorno Karabakh settlement becomes less and less
significant and that is why no pressure is exerted on Armenia for
making any concessions.
