Murat Sungar If Armenia withdrew from at least a part of the occupied
lands of Azerbaijan, Ankara will have its hands untied.
Turkish political scientist Murat Sungar, famous for his closeness
to the ruling circles of Turkey, completely ruled out possible
ratification of the Turkish-Armenian protocols without achievements
in the Karabakh issues in his interview with Milliyet newspaper.
"The European Union will start putting pressure on Turkey about
ratification of these ill-fated protocols beginning from February
but Ankara will not do it. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan promised to
Azerbaijan not to open borders without a breakthrough in the Karabakh
issue", the political scientist said.
"If Armenia withdrew from at least a part of the occupied lands
of Azerbaijan, Ankara will have its hands untied. It could have
satisfied Azerbaijan, the West and Armenia. Yet, I do not believe
that Yerevan will take this step as it is too dependent on external
players to take this step by itself. Therefore, Turkey should just
constantly pester Russia, US and Europe for them to force Armenia
accept these provisions. But if it fails, it does not matter whether
Obama recognizes "genocide" or not. I do not see any benefit of
Israel from the recognition of holocaust. What will happen if the
United States recognize the "genocide"? Will they take away our lands?
It is not the end of world even if they recognize the so-called
"genocide". On the contrary, we will get rid of this problem once
and forever", he said.
