“Erdogan is really interested in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict and, certainly, it asked Russia to assist in settling this problem.
I think some achievements are expected here and Moscow is preparing Armenians for such a turn,” said political scientist Zardusht Alizade.
Commenting on the statements by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin that the Armenian-Turkish relations should not be bound to the Karabakh conflict, the political scientist noted that “Russia, Turkey and other countries can have different opinions but it is Azerbaijan that will say its last word. Anyway, everything should be coordinated with Azerbaijan as the biggest and most influential country in the Caucasus. Otherwise, any initiatives or new geopolitical combinations will fail in the region without Azerbaijan.”
“Therefore, we should be more active in the regional issues. Armenia’s position remains changeless. This country is unable to reconcile with the new realities in the region and it will do so that Russia and the United States bind their policy to its ambitious policy. It is spoilt and it considers that it will get away with everything. But if support to it ends and the OSCE Minsk Group agrees on a different position and it feels Azerbaijan’s strength, Armenia will be obliged to take any decision. In this case, it will realize the reality and change its position on this issue,” he said.
“Armenia has recently understood that something is being prepared against it. However, it is wrong for Armenia to think that Russia will always support it. Moscow’s patience will once be exhausted as it does not have to bind its national interests to the interests of Armenia. The moment of truth has come for Yerevan and no Christian solidarity would help it. Real processes are ongoing in the region and Armenia should stop living with myths and understand the reality”
