"By saying territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, the President of
Turkey Abdullah Gul understands seven liberated territories," Artak
Shakaryan told a press conference today.
According to him, both the strategic cooperation contract signed
between Azerbaijan and Turkey and the refreshed contract between
Armenia and Russia remind that US is getting out from the region.
"We are in a situation, where the European Union is busy with the
economic crisis, Minsk group is not active, US is not going to be
engaged in the region, thus, Russia and Turkey try to rearrange their
forces," he noted.
"Obama's foreign policy does not satisfy either the opposition or the
power. Next year he is going to be prepared for the next elections. In
parallel, he must pay attention to the issue of Iran, mainly, for the
reason that Russia is going to set in motion Busher's nuclear power
station in a month. Turkey has important issues to solve in October.
In this month, the enlargement issue of the European Union will take
place. Besides, the final decision on Nabuko will be made," he said.
"According to Gul, his visit to Baku is connected with the Nabuko
issue: that is, to be sure that Baku- Tbilisi- Erzrum gas pipeline
will be full to be connected with Nabuko. Turkey needs Nabuko, as it
is a supplementary lever on Europe and Western world," he continued.
"Holy masses in Greek and Armenian Churches organized by Turkey
are shows and if Armenians participate in this Holy mass, they will
provide show's success. From the other side, not participating means
that Armenians are afraid of the game suggested by Turkey. It will
be right to go and suggest to organize Holy masses once in a three
month and tell that it is our right to do Holy masses and not the
Turkey's concession," he concluded.
