"A country that has domestic political problems cannot succeed
on foreign policy issues," member of the Board of the Armenian
Pan-National Movement Hovhannes Igityan told a press conference today.
In his opinion, starting the football diplomacy was wrong, since the
process will lead to greater hostility rather than reconciliation.
"I think that at the end of the Armenian-Turkish process, the relations
will have more hostile relations than they had before the process
started, and this is nonsense," he said.
Asked about the concerns of the US Intelligence regarding the
resumption of war in Karabakh, Hovhannes Igityan said: "Azerbaijan
is not launching war today because it considers that it has a great
political and diplomatic advantage on the issue. Azerbaijan fears
that if it starts war, it may be unable to quickly solve the issue
in a military way and lose the political and diplomatic advantage it
has today."
Igityan added that "there will be pressures on both parties in the
Armenian-Turkish process. The one, who turns out to be stronger on
the foreign policy field, will win.
