Commenting on the impending visit of Russian president Dmitry medvedev to Turkey, expert at Armenian Center for Political and International Resarch, Ruben Mehrabyan said that Armenia and Armenian diplomacy should be concerned over any rapprochement between Turkey and Russia.
According to the report of News.am, the expert believes that the unresolved Karabakh conflict is presently a powerful lever for Russia to maintain its influence in the region. “It will not lose grasp of leverage without finding an equivalent. I do not rule out a possibility that once Russia and Turkey come to an agreement, they will leave out the other actors, such as EU and U.S.,” Mehrabyan said. He added that no crucial developments are expected, despite the serious challenges facing Armenia.
