    No stalemate in Armenian-Turkish process, expert says

    13:23 / 04/10/2010`The Armenian-Turkish process is progressing. Turkey
    is simply interested in the process itself, while Armenia is
    interested in certain results, which it does not get,' the political
    analyst Ruben Mehabyan told NEWS.am, speaking of the possible results
    of the Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting in Washington. According to him,
    Armenia does not get the results because Turkey links the
    Armenian-Turkish process to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.

    `The present task is to show the world the Armenia-Turkish process is
    not in a stalemate, and Nagorno-Karabakh will be the focus of the
    Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting. Erdogan has stated that,' he said.

    As regards the Armenian side's flat refusal to link the
    Armenian-Turkish process to the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process,
    Mehrabyan stated that `the Armenian side very often states one thing,
    but it can actually act in a different or even opposite, way. Certain
    events to take place in Washington will save the President Obama the
    trouble of uttering the word `genocide'. Secondly, something will
    enable the sides to state the Armenian-Turkish process is going on.
    And, of course, some things related to Nagorno-Karabakh will be
    specified,' he said.

    As to whether the U.S. leader will manage to get the Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem considered separately from the Armenian-Turkish process, the
    expert said: `I think it is hardly likely ` the Turkish public, as
    well as Azerbaijan, will not have it.'
