Russian President's visit to Turkey will not affect Armenian-Turkish
process, according to expert Yervand Bozoyan.
"Turkey hopes Moscow will compel Yerevan to make concessions on
Karabakh. It doesn't give up the intention to join talks either.
Nevertheless, Russian-Turkish relations are economy-oriented and
will not represent a menace unless Yerevan goes wrong in regional
processes," he said during a joint news conference with political
analyst Alexander Markarov.
For his part, Mr. Markarov said that despite Turkey's aspiration to
penetrate into the Karabakh process, it's premature to speak of any
changes in the OSCE Minsk Group format.
At the same time he warned that Russian-Turkish economic ties may
transform into strategic partnership. "The two countries are rapidly
developing economic relations, which can pave the way for resolution
of political issues," Markarov said.
