THERE IS NO NEED TO GIVE UP ON ANYTHING

Serzh Sargsyan has decided to recall the Armenian-Turkish protocols.
The decision is related to the centenary of the genocide, refusal of
Armenia to negotiate with Turkey and adopting new methods for claims.
Interesting things are happening in Azerbaijan. Today the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs are visiting Baku, on the same day the Iranian foreign
minister Javad Zarif and Assistant Secretary Victoria Nuland are
leaving for Baku.
Certainly, Karabakh is the key topic of the negotiations. One can
judge by the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmed Davutoghlu's statements in
what context it is being discussed. He has announced recently that
if the Armenian troops are withdrawn from at least one territory,
Turkey will open the border with Armenia.
Turkey is getting prepared for April 24. Ankara is not hiding its
interest in the failure of the centenary in Yerevan and domestic
upheavals in Armenia. Turkey is getting ready for some step. It could
be the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border which may bring the
process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
international support to Armenia's righteous claims to a halt.
On the other hand, would Turkey wish to get something in return for
this and could this something be one territory of Karabakh?
Apparently, Armenia refuses this and Yerevan is supported by some
countries which insist on opening the Armenian-Turkish border without
preconditions.
Baku has confessed that it has discussed the possibility of laying
out ways between Armenia and Russia via Azerbaijan on the condition
that Russia "persuades" Armenia to hand some territories.
Turkey and Azerbaijan will be forced to open the ways, both between
Armenia and Russia and Armenia and Turkey. There is no need to hand
or give up on something. Armenia needs ways as much as external forces
do, especially that if agreement is reached between the United States
and Iran.
Apparently, Victoria Nuland will try to explain this to Aliyev. So
will do the foreign minister of Iran who has recently visited Yerevan.
