campaign, Head of Caucasus Department at CIS States Institute,
Mikhail Alexandrov told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, commenting on Azeri
Parliament's intention to discuss RA-Turkish Protocols. According to
him, Azeri policy aimed to impose a blockade on Armenia so that the
latter ceded NKR. In case of RA-Turkish rapprochement Baku will have to
compromise on the issue. "To stop RA-Turkish protocols' ratification
process, Azerbaijan might even address Turkish parliament," Mikhail
Alexandrov noted, adding that Ankara will gain nothing by supporting
Baku.
He also commented the information on Azeri and Turkish Diaspora's
unification in order to hamper protocols' ratification. "The Azeri
seem to be unaware of their true origin; at one moment they consider
themselves Caucasian Albanians' descendants, at another they're
descended from Turks."
Alexandrov also noted that Turkey must not depend on Azerbaijan. "It's
time for Ankara to act in accordance with it's own interests, instead
of Azerbaijan's," Mikhail Alexandrov said.
