/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish-Azerbaijani controversy on normalization of
Armenia-Turkey relations is often taken for a political game aiming to
press on Armenia and compel it to compromise but, actually, it's not
so, according to an Armenian expert.
`Turkey is not a pro-Azerbaijani country any longer. Earlier,
Islamists were trying to gain power with arms. Now they are doing it
with economic tools,' Artak Shakaryan told a news conference on
Saturday.
`Turkey is no longer willing to defend Azerbaijan's interests as it
did before. These two countries are not an unsplittable unity. The
closed Armenian-Turkish border was a fundamental principle for
Azerbaijan in the Karabakh issue. Normalizing relations with Armenia,
Turkey breaks the current state of affairs,' he said.
