PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s regional visit was a yellow card for Turkey, according to Hayk Babukhanyan, chairman of Constitutional Right Union.

“Turkey understood that it can’t kill two birds with one stone, aspiring both after leadership in the Islamic world and EU membership,” he told journalists in Yerevan.

“Clinton’s visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial was a clear message to Ankara,” Babukhanyan said.

Asked about possibility of resumption of hostilities in Karabakh, he said unexpected war can’t be ruled out but is unlikely.

“The conflict will remain frozen, as the only way is war, which is not beneficial either to Azerbaijan or international actors,” he added.

Babukhanyan predicted change of power in Turkey and Georgia, after what transit of energy resources and railways will be put into operation throughout the region.
