Neither Armenia nor Turkey is prepared to continue the already-begun
process, said political analyst Igor Muradyan, while speaking with
journalists today.
In Muradyan's words, the Protocols in Zurich were signed not between
Armenia and Turkey, but between the U.S. and Turkey. According to
the analyst, the process of establishing relations between Armenia
and Turkey is not possible "without outside support."
Muradyan noted that the U.S. is no longer capable of supporting the
process. "Our region is closely connected with the U.S. strategy
carried out in Central Asia. Under those conditions, when the movers
and shakers and leadership of the U.S. have lost themselves, and
relations between NATO and Europe, in turn, take on an incomprehensible
character, the Caucasus will become a less important region for the
U.S.," highlighted the analyst.
"It turns out that, holding their hands, they brought Armenia
and Turkey to the negotiating table and left them their alone,"
said Muradyan, adding that Turkey is not receiving enough pressure
from the U.S. "But in this case, Turkey's aim is to bring about its
international independence, since Turkey doesn't intend to surrender
to U.S.'s control," announced Muradyan.
"This is the main situation of Armenian-Turkish negotiations," added
the analyst.
