Turkey and Azerbaijan are trying to grab the maximum form the process
of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Press Secretary of
the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party Khachik Galstyan told a
press conference today.
According to him, Armenia has assumed a balanced policy in the process,
while the other two parties seem to be in a nervous fit.
Speaking about the position of the Prosperous Armenia Party on the
establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations without preconditions,
Khachik Galstyan said: "We think Turkey has made certain strategic
mistakes in its policy. First, Turkey had not calculated well the
influence of Azerbaijan on the shaping of its foreign policy. Yielding
to the demands of the Azeri authorities, Turkey attempted to tie
the Armenian-Turkish normalization to the Karabakh peace process. I
think these wrong strategic calculations allowed the Armenian side
to stiffen the position on the Karabakh issue, which became apparent
in the President's recent statements and speeches."
