    POLITICAL SCIENTIST: FREEZING ZURICH PROTOCOLS TESTIFIES IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXERT ANY PRESSURE ON AZERBAIJAN

    Freezing the Zurich protocols on the opening of the Turkish-Armenian
    borders once again testified that it is impossible to exert any
    pressure on Azerbaijan, head of the political innovations and
    technologies center, political scientist Mubariz Ahmadoglu told Trend
    on April 23.

    "Some pro-Armenian countries thought that it was possible to exert
    pressure on Azerbaijan and its president. However, the events showed
    that if there are national interests, it is impossible to exert any
    pressure on Azerbaijan president," Ahmadoglu said.

    On April 22, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree on
    suspension of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols' ratification at the
    Parliament.

    Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
    Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 10.

    Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey were broken due
    to Armenian claims of an alleged genocide and its occupation of
    Azerbaijani lands. Their border closed in 1993.

    Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan's message to nation says that
    Armenia has decided not to exit the process of normalization of
    Armenian-Turkish relations, but rather, to suspend the procedure of
    ratifying the Protocols. The president believes this to be in the
    best interests of nation.

    According to Ahmadoglu, the only goal of Armenia in raising the
    question of normalizing relations with Turkey was to delay the
    Nagorno-Karabakh issue and harm the relations between Turkey and
    Azerbaijan, but it failed to do it.

    "There were certain forces inside Turkey that tried to harm the
    relations between the two countries, but they failed. The last meeting
    in Washington showed that Turkey protects Azerbaijan's interests not
    only in Azerbaijan, but also outside the country," Ahmadoglu added.
