PROCESS OF ESTABLISHMENT OF CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN ARMENIA,
AZERBAIJAN AND TURKEY MAY HAVE NO HAPPY END
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 8. ARMINFO. The process of establishment of a
constructive dialogue between Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan may have
no happy end, Executive Director of LINKS NGO (UK) David Summoth
(name as given) said during the Yerevan NATO Rose Roth seminar today.
At the same time there is certain progress in Turkey that can be
beneficial for Armenia. Constructive dialogue requires at least the
start of public contacts to be turned into inter-department
commission meetings. The reoperation of Agdam-Nakhichevan-Goris rail
road and the opening of air communication between Baku and Yerevan
will also contribute to the establishment of regional cooperation.
South Caucasian parliamentary initiative will also be useful. Summoth
criticizes the EU Wider Europe program as it gives no effective ways
to establish regional cooperation.
The factor of Russia should also be considered here. Russia is an
important neighbor and there can be very useful 3+Russia format with
no Russian dominance.
