The domestic political situation in Turkey, which more remembers
political crisis, will further influence the development of the
situation around the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations,
said the head of the Center for Strategic Studies under the President
of Azerbaijan Elkhan Nuriyev.
"Turkey is found between two fires and is experiencing serious internal
political crisis. This prevents coordinating actions and deciding how
to move, what to do and in what direction to go, given the geopolitics
of Azerbaijan and its increasing role in the regional arena," Nuriyev
briefed the media on Dec. 29, evaluating the results of the Center's
activities in 2009.
Nureyev was optimistic about the future of the Azerbaijani-Turkish
relations, noting that domestic political factors in Turkey will
exert its influence and the steps taken by the political leadership
of Turkey will play an important role.
Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich on Oct. 10.
"Turkey's political establishment is undergoing strong political crisis
that Turkey has already experienced, Nuriyev said. It will take time
for Turkey to decide what the Turks or Turkey want at this stage.
I think that the situation will become clearer by spring."
