U.S. Armenian political analyst Richard Kirakosyan stresses the
importance of the meeting of Abdulah Gull and Serzh Sargsyan, however
he considers Turkey's intermediary mission as impossible. "The Russians
and Americans are colleagues in the Minsk Group and both want to keep
the status quo and that is why Turkey can't enter the negotiation
process", said Kirakosyan.
In an interview with "A1+" Richard Kirakosyan said that he does not
trust the promises made for the quick settlement of the Karabakh
conflict. According to Kirakosyan, Turkey's active politics in the
region is of a separatist character, that is, "Turkey has a plan to
enforce his interests and keep them without the help of America."
As far as the security platform proposed by Turkey is concerned,
Kirakosyan said: "It is not a new platform. What's important is the
process. The important thing is that the Turks came to Armenia and not
vice-versa and what's also important is to start the process." But
Kirakosyan does not know what is going to happen next. In any case,
he stresses that the establishment of Turkish-Armenian relations will
be in the interest of Armenia and Turkey, but it will hurt Azerbaijan.
