ARKA

YEREVAN, October 7. /ARKA/. Closer relations of Turkey and Armenia
are able to lead to serious changes in Turkey-Azerbaijan relations,
analyst of "Jane's Information Group" Richard Giragosyan said.
In fact, each step of Turkey toward Armenia means a step away from
Azerbaijan, he said at a round-table discussion on Armenia-Turkey
dialogue and its consequences for Turkey-Azerbaijan relations.
Director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan was of the same
opinion. "If Armenia-Turkey relations are improving, it's bad for
Azerbaijan," Iskandaryan said.
The political scientist pointed out that in September a military
doctrine was to be adopted with provisions for joint defense policy
and military cooperation with Turkey, as well as for protection of
interests of Azerbaijan's allies.
"The document was not adopted; according to information received
from our Azerbaijani colleague - authors of the document, all these
provisions will be removed and Turkey will not be even mentioned in
the version to be adopted," Iskandaryan said.
