Turkey's invitation to Armenia to attend the Black Sea Economic
Cooperation's (BSEC) meeting in Istanbul proves the existence of
certain diplomatic relations between the two countries, political
analyst Richard Giragosian told at a news conference today.
"BSEC is the platform where Armenian and Turkish governance bodies
meet. It is also an additional pressure on Turkey to make the
unofficial relations official," the analyst said. The BSEC summit is
scheduled for June 26 in Turkey.
Referring to the regional visit of the US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, particularly to Turkey, Giragosian said Turks and Americans
agreed with the fact that the peace in the region is endangered
because of Azerbaijan.
"Turkey has addressed a message to Azerbaijan that the attacks against
Armenia are wrong steps. That country does not want Azerbaijan to
start war as it will limit Turkey's activities in the region. This
means that Turkish-Azerbaijani relations are not as warm as they used
to be," the political analyst stressed.
The latter said even Turkey considers Azerbaijan a country threatening
regional peace. "Turkey is not Azerbaijan's sole strategic partner,
we know that Israel, Pakistan and other states are helping it to
build arms," the political analyst said.
The latter also stressed that the conception "one nation two states"
does not work for the two countries any more.
