    ArmInfo. Turkey follows a cautious policy in the Armenian-Turkish
    relations for fear of losing Azerbaijan, an expert Turgut Kerem Tuncel
    at Istanbul Bilgi University said during the international conference
    "Armenia at the Intersection of Communications" in Tsakhkadzor.

    'Armenia has a chance to arrive at common interests with the West
    against the background of energy war between Russia and West. Russia's
    reaction will be very rigid, as Russia is undertaking countermeasures
    to keep Armenia within the scope of Russia's interests', he said.

    At the same time, T. Tuncel emphasized that the West needs Armenia,
    as, after August 2008 war, hopes for Georgia as a stable partner
    have waned.

    Armenia can fill the void, should it be able to use all possibilities
    for European integration.

    'However, Yerevan is facing two challenges today: Turkey and
    Azerbaijan.

    These issues are closely interconnected, since, to strengthen relations
    with the West, Armenia has to solve NKR conflict and Armenian-Turkish
    rapprochement issues', T. Tuncel resumed.
