"Karabakh problem is no more a precondition for establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations. Turkish Foreign Minister said openly that lack of progress in Karabakh talks doesn't mean that Turkey should wait unless there is such," professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of NAS RA Institute of Oriental Studies, told a news conference today. He also reminded that the Turkish delegation which visited Azerbaijan lately did not include any representative of AK ruling party. " There is one more interesting fact. Azerbaijan and Turkey are already contradicting each other. Turkish President Abdullah Gul said progress was fixed during the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Prague while the Azeri side stated no progress was achieved," ," professor Safrastyan said.
