/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey is trying to maneuver to derive benefits
for itself and not to offend Azerbaijan, a Russian expert said.
"I don’t know what about the Armenian parliament but the Turkish
Grand Assembly is going to ratify the protocols on normalization of
relations," Alexander Sotnichenko, senior fellow at Saint Petersburg
Center for Middle East Studies, told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Turkey is between the devil and the deep blue sea but I think the
protocols will be ratified," he said.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday that Turkey
and Armenia will sign a deal to establish diplomatic ties on Oct. 10.
