/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's recent
statement regarding OSCE Minsk Group's passivity in Karabakh conflict
settlement issue has become an insurmountable obstacle to Turkey's
claims for mediation, director of Armenian Center for National and
International Studies (ACNIS), Richard Giragosian stated.
As he told a news conference in Yerevan, Turkey can't be allowed to
interfere with Karabakh conflict settlement. "Karabakh issue mustn't
be linked to Armenia-Turkey rapprochement," he emphasized.
Commenting on the oncoming visit of US Deputy Secretary of State
James B. Steinberg to Caucasus, Mr. Giragosian noted that the visit
should be construed as a signal for Turkey to meet expectations by
expediting ratification of Protocols.
"Displeasing a strong leader like Barack Obama would be a glaring
blunder for Turkey," he said.
