John Kerry's appointment as US Secretary of State may mean that
over the second period of Barack Obama's staying in office the
Armenian-Turkish relations will become more active, political expert
Stepan Grigoryan told Arminfo correspondent.
"The position of the USA in the Armenian-Turkish issue will be
closer to the Armenian party. Otherwise, it would be senseless
to appoint at the position of US Secretary of State a politician
which initiated recognition of the Armenian genocide and is a harsh
pro-Armenian politician. Such an politician will not immediately
revise his viewpoints and the given appointment may just mean that
US position in some issues and first of all in the Armenian-Turkish
issue and in the matter of recognition of the Armenian genocide will
be pro-Armenian", - Grigoryan emphasized.
At the same time, he thinks there will be no serious changes in the
Karabakh issue, as the USA understand very well that Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict must not be resolved overnight, it needs time and efforts.
"There is no trust between the parties to the Karabakh conflict,
and America is not so much naive not to understand it", - Grigoryan
concluded.
