Negative affect of the WIkiLeaks-published documents on
Azerbaijani-Turkish relations is obvious, Turkish studies expert
Artak Shakaryan said at today's press conference. The expert said he
has returned from a conference initiated by Usak organization.
"The conference brought together mainly Turkish nationalists and
Azerbaijani experts but chill in Azerbaijani-Turkish relations was
obvious. The Azerbaijani-Turkish ties are not based on fraternal
relations so far, they are based on pragmatic perspective of gaining
benefits from oil and gas cooperation. This proves that WikiLeaks
cannot fully prevent from deepening of ties between the two states,"
he said.
As to Armenian-Turkish reconciliation Shakaryan stressed that Turkey's
approaches on the issue have not changed. "Turks still claim that until
the Karabakh issue is not resolved, no progress will be registered
in the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation process. However, Turks also
realize that Aliyev is the one who does not want to resolve the
Karabalh problem," the expert stressed.
