When Barack Obama paid his first visit to Turkey after coming to power,
he urged Turkey to restore relations with Armenia.
Head of the Caucasus Strategic Studies Centre, political scientist
Hasan Oktay told the statement to Gun.Az from Ankara while commenting
on Obama's decreasing assistance to Armenia and increasing support
to Turkey.
'We should take into account that Armenia rejected this call of Obama
and he decided to reduce his aid to Armenia as long as this country
does not justify his expectations. Maybe Armenia sees these reductions
as symbolic figures and their consequences will be more than expected.
Today, Washington is well aware about the political course of the
Armenian government in the region. The course does not satisfy the
Obama administration. For now, the main priority for Washington
it to restore peace and stability in the region,' the political
scientist said.
