    MURADYAN: TURKEY DOESN'T WANT TO PERFORM U.S. SCENARIO

    Turkey will postpone the ratification for Armenian-Turkish protocols
    as long as possible to never perform the U.S. scenario, says at
    press-conference analyst Igor Muradyan.

    According to Igor Muradyan, it is impossible to say with certainty that
    Washington is able to guarantee to the end the process of normalisation
    between Armenia and Turkey, especially when neither Armenia nor Ankara
    themselves are ready to continue the process. "The continuation of the
    process without any powerful support is impossible," he said adding
    that Turkey is quite skeptical about the project while Armenia s
    more loyal.

    "The today's Turkish government cannot take into account the interests
    of all sectors of society. It cannot now ignore people's unwillingness
    and adopt the processes which are not supported by people."

    Even White House can't continue the initiative since it has more
    important agenda - to save positions in Central Asia, and in
    particular, in Afghanistan." Most expectations of western society
    are linked with this region as there is a danger of Vietnam repeat.

    Actually, even Iraq is forgotten," said the analyst pointing that
    Washington is afraid of possible Turkey's role in region which will
    lead to status-quo-related changes. In Muradyan's opinion, Turkey has
    now two chief objectives: to solve the matter of Armenia-Turkey border
    and dispose of Armenian factor which 150 years long influences Turkey's
    foreign policy. Ankara makes concessions just for self-solving of
    "Armenian problem". It realizes that western superpowers do not seek
    for normalisation of relations between Armenia and Turkey but seek
    for new resources to pressure Turkey as it moves to seed as Middle
    Eastern leader. Even Turkey's years-long wished UE membership is
    supported neither by European states, nor by Washington.

    "In this case, the U.S. has a clear objective to hold back Turkey's
    right and left expansion," said Igor Muradyan reminding that a year
    ago when war had broken between Georgia and Osetia, some tensions
    appeared between Ankara and Washington on discussed item of U.S. Air
    Force presence on Black Sea.

    "Armenian-Turkish protocols' ratification and opening of the border
    will make Turkey play the definite game," said the analyst adding
    that Ankara Turkey does not want to perform U.S. scenario and this
    actually leads to elongate of Armenian-Turkish relations.

    "United States plays a game that doesn't work. Washington does not
    understand that this is not the Turkey of 1990s," said Muradyan and
    pointed that Ankara realizes "it's a game" and seeks for distance
    receding even from NATO while keeping the membership. This situation
    allows Turkey strengthening the partnership with other geopolitical
    center, which is Russia, not excluding even the creation of alliances
    with Moscow. What about Russia itself, the analyst said Caucasus and
    the whole Middle East region is already an historical key factor of
    its external moves.

    "Russia has nearly the same scenario that U.S. has," said Igor Muradyan
    and added that Moscow hopes to get its dividends from failure of the
    U.S. project of normalisation of Armenian-Turkish relations.
