"Some political observers from Azerbaijan say Turkey linked
the protocols to normalize relations with Armenia to progress in
Nagorno-Karabakh to make the gas deal easier to obtain Azeri gas at
a favorable and discounted price," Huliq.com writes.
"Turkey kept dragging the protocols to normalize relations with
Armenia and artificially linking it to progress on Nagorno Karabakh.
Yet, the protocols don't say a word about Nagorno-Karabakh or
Azerbaijan. During the meeting with his counterpart Greek Prime
Minister George Papandreou, Erdogan pledged to improve ties and solve
historic difference. One wonders how come Turkey does not condition
its Greek relations with progress on Cyprus, but conditions its
Armenian relations with progress on Nagorno-Karabakh dispute Huliq.com
publisher, editor Armen Hareyan writes. "The answer to these questions
comes from Turkish-Azerbaijani gas talks."
"Turkey paid the price burying the protocols with Armenia and made it
easier to get a favorable natural gas deal from Azerbaijan. What will
Azerbaijan offer in return after the deal is signed? Will Azerbaijan
offer a political dividend to Turkey by taking a more realistic and
constructive position on Nagorno-Karabakh, remains to be seen in the
upcoming months," Armen Hareyan writes.
