Turkey is a hostage of Azerbaijan, this is reasons that implementation
of the Armenia-Turkey protocols is unlikely, says political analyst
Mateusz Piskorski.
`I think you must not expect changes in Turkey's foreign policy in
2014. The visit of Turkish FM Ahmet Davutyoglu most likely was nothing
but Ankara's intention to show its readiness for dialogue as this was
demanded by the U.S., Turkey's ally,' Piskorski told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
Piskorski, Director of the European Center of Geopolitical Analysis,
said in the context of presidential elections in 2014 and
parliamentary elections in 2015 in Turkey, one must not expect serious
steps aimed at thaw in relations with Yerevan.
`This refers to the Genocide recognition, too. Most likely the issue
will become a part of the agenda of the election campaign,' he
resumed.
In October 2009 Armenia and Turkey signed protocols in Zurich to
normalize diplomatic relations between the states. In 2010 the
Armenian president suspended the process due to Turkey's
non-constructive stance. Ankara set preconditions and linked the
reconciliation process to resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
