"I do not see any variant of ratification of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols by Turkey", Director of the Caucasus Institute, political
specialist Alexander Iskandaryan told today a press conference. He
said that he has returned from Turkey the other day and attaches
importance especially to this issue.
"At the moment the protocols are not among the primary issues in the
Turkish agenda. That country has many other issues to solve both in
home and foreign political fields," the political specialist said.
According to him, it is obvious that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan is going to be nominated in presidential elections, which
means that surely he will not go to ratification of the protocols in
this stage.
Mr. Iskandaryan said that Turkey tries to take a dominating role in
Middle East, for which it has adopted an anti-Israeli role. "The game
is quite risky, as Israel is connected with the USA," the political
specialist noted, stressing that in such a complicated situation the
Turkish authorities will not go to ratification of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols. To cut it short, as long as Turkey has not been orientated
in the issues of the Middle East, the destiny of the protocols will
remain unchangeable," Mr. Iskandaryan expressed confidence.
