    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey pursues an equivocal policy towards
    Armenia, which is explained by Ankara being a hostage to Turkey in
    Armenian-Turkish relations issue, Turgut Kerem Tuncel Istanbul Bilgi
    University Professor told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    "Turkey is unwilling to lose Azerbaijan not because of ethnic
    or religious connections, but, first of all, based on economic
    interests. We have to resign ourselves to reality, and in reality
    Azerbaijan has energy resources Turkey is interested in," Turkish
    expert emphasized.

    Tuncel cited as an example Turkish Prime Minister's visit to Baku right
    upon "road map" agreement publication. "It was then that we witnessed
    Baku's reaction to possible Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, so Turkish
    Premier went to comfort the Azeri part right away," Turgut Kerem Tuncel
    noted. Nevertheless, the Turkish expert expressed confidence that RA
    President will definitely pay a return visit to Turkey to be present
    at a football match between Armenian and Turkish teams. "The process
    initiated by football diplomacy should be continued," he stated.
