/PanARMENIAN.Net/ By kicking up fuss about Armenia -Turkey
rapprochement, Azerbaijan will irritate Turkey, an expert Charles
Tannock stated in his article published in New Europe news source.
"Experts were hoping that a normalization of relations between Turkey
and Armenia would force Azerbaijan to make more meaningful proposals
in the negotiations about Karabakh. The Azerbaijani leadership now
knows that any concession on Karabakh would also trigger a victory
for Armenia's diplomacy vis-a-vis Turkey," the article notes.
According to the expert, by kicking up a fuss about the Armenia -Turkey
rapprochement, Azerbaijan will irritate its Western partner, whose
approval will be vital as Azerbaijan itself seeks greater integration
into Euroatlantic security and economic structures.
"Armenia, ultimately, has as much to gain from the deal as Turkey
does. Turkey still has far to go before it can convince the EU of
its readiness to join," Charles Tannock emphasized.
