The visit of Turkish Premier Erdogan to Moscow is a regular demarche
against the West, political analyst and Heritage faction head Stepan
Safaryan told NEWS.am.
According to him, after the lame visit to Washington, Erdogan wants
to show the West that if Ankara’s voice will be ignored further,
Turkey will chum up with Russia. "As to Karabakh issue, it will
undoubtedly become a key point in the course of Turkish delegation’s
visit to Moscow. Both Russia and Turkey made certain pledges to Baku
on the matter. Moscow did so as it may deem advisable, while Ankara —
fearing that will lose "its younger brother," Safaryan stated.
Commenting on Russian FM’s visit to Yerevan, Safaryan considers that
it has two purposes — to show Armenia as its strategic partner that
Russia makes no deals behind its back and plough Yerevan’s stance on
possible acceleration of Minsk process on Karabakh conflict settlement.
