Diplomat, "Modus Vivendi" Center Head Ara Papyan spoke about
probability of Karabakh war resumption at a round table today.
According to the speaker, war resumption is not beneficial for
superpowers since it can further aggravate the situation in the
Middle East.
"No matter that the opposite is asserted, the Armenian-Turkish and
Armenian-Azerbaijani relations are the common Armenian Cause for
the West and Turkey," he noted adding that the Armenian Cause is
an important factor under the Turkey-Israel confrontation in the
Middle East.
"Turkey-Israel confrontation is not formal, it is connected with
Turkey's islamization. Nationalist Turkey posed danger for Armenia
while Islamic Turkey is dangerous for Europe. Under the circumstances,
suppressing Armenia is no longer beneficial for the West," he noted.
According to the speaker, though Turkey supports Azerbaijan in the
Nagorno Karabakh issue, it will abandon its ally at the last moment
if Armenia offers some price for it. Therefore Mr. Papyan advised
the Armenian authorities to clarify their demands made to Turkey.
"We need to clarify what we want from Turkey, why and on what basis,"
the diplomat said.
