Turkey's participation in Karabakh talks unpromising

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's participation in Karabakh talks is unpromising, a Turkish expert said.



"First, Armenia won't allow Turkey into the process. Second, the OSCE MG co-chair powers will hardly renounce monopoly," said Mitat Celikpala, associate professor of international relations at Turkey's TOBB University.



Supporting Azerbaijan in the issue, Turkey can be useful if acts in concordance with Moscow, according to him.



"Ankara is advocating Azerbaijan's interests and sets withdrawal of Armenian troops as a precondition for opening of the border. I think Turkey will never betray interests of fraternal Azerbaijan," prof. Celikpala said, 1news.az reports.
