HistoryofTruth.com - Armenian Allegations

Political analyst Richard Giragosian considers it possible that the current Armenian-Turkish negotiations may eventually lead to a renewed Karabakh war, which he estimates will take the Azerbaijani army some 10—12 years to get prepared for, because the Armenian army is incomparably stronger.

Speaking about the already signed Armenian-Turkish protocols Giragosian, who heads the Yerevan-based Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS), called it an achievement that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is not included in the protocols.

“For Turkey it means that it is no longer possible to return the issue into the protocols, and the Nagorno-Karabakh negotiations are a second track, which is much slower,” said Giragosian.

Giragosian believes real changes will be registered not in the mode of actions of official Baku, Armenia, the Minsk Group or Nagorno-Karabakh but rather the crucial step will belong to Russia, which will change its pro-Armenian stance into a neutral one and thus 's howing to Europeans and Americans that Russia is ready to take more constructive steps.”
