A year after the signing of Armenia-Turkey Protocols, a very complicated situation was created and there is no basis for optimism, Alexandros Peterson, a Senior Fellow with the Patriciu Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council, stated in an interview with the Zhamanak daily.
In this regard, Washington has no hope for the process to resume in the near future. However diligent U.S. politicians believe that the revival of the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation must come from the immediate interests of Ankara and Yerevan.
There is a strong opposition in Turkey, opposing to the normalization process, he said.
According to him, the prospects do not inspire hope. U.S. authorities consider revival of Armenia-Turkey rapprochement should follow direct interests of Yerevan and Ankara. Meanwhile, both Armenian and Turkish statesmen should step up efforts in this direction.
