"All the pressures and the expectations in the frameworks of the
Armenian - Turkish reconciliation process are on Turkey," thinks
Richard Giragosian, Head of the Armenian Center for National and
International Studies (ACNIS). Today during the round table he said
that the pressures of Washington over Ankara are connected with the
disagreements between Turkey and the United States over the nuclear
program of Iran.
"The U.S. has issue a challenge to Turkey and not to Armenia. Armenia
has already done what it was able to do," he said.
According to the speaker in the situation created within the frameworks
of the Armenian - Turkish reconciliation process the most important
thing is that the powerful states do not consider the NKR issue as a
precondition for the normalization of the Armenian - Turkish relations.
"Turkey will not be able to present any demand concerning Karabakh
issue, as it will be impossible and will not be accepted," he said
and added that in that regard Armenia has taken a strategic vicyory.
"The strategic victory of Armenia is in keeping Turkish and Azerbaijani
relation in bad situation till now. Neither Baku nor Ankara can find
ways to improve their relations," R. Giragosian concluded.
