/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The recent presidential speech in Chatham House
contained new ideas, according to Alexander Manasyan, Yerevan State
University professor.
"It's notable that President Sargsyan touched upon Nakhijevan in his
address," prof. Manasyan told reporters on Monday.
As to normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey, he said
that Ankara has much to gain from not linking Karabakh conflict
settlement to rapprochement with Armenia, since otherwise Yerevan
can raise the Nakhijevan issue.
Prof. Manasyan also added that protracting the process of ratification
of the Armenian-Turkish protocols, Ankara will give cause to US
President Obama to avoid using the term genocide in his April 24
address.
