After Armenia and Turkey have agreed to hold internal consultations
on signing diplomatic and bilateral ties Azerbaijan is seriously
destroyed.

Regarding to these recent events Azerbaijani politicians and experts
expressed their concerns.

So the head of the "East-West" research center, a political scientist
Arastun Orujlu said that in his opinion the situation of these days
is the result of Armenian-Turkish relations of past years.

"The Turkish nowadays authorities do not care about interests of
Azerbaijan" – Orujlu said.

Azerbaijan is losing its positions, those are falling off. It means
Azerbaijan’s defeat.

"These steps done by Turkey are also the result of tension experienced
in the Azerbaijani-Turkish relations" – he said.

The political scientist thinks when Baku has pressured on Ankara this
year that just was unjustified.

"Now, Azerbaijan is isolated and it has to determine quickly its
foreign policy priorities" – Orujlu said.
