It is important to understand who pushed Yerevan into Turkey's arms

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian expert David Davtyan doesn't think that any outside force is interested in compelling Armenian authorities to sign some wittingly losing documents.



"Unfortunately, today the essence of Armenian-Turkish talks is vague, since Armenia does not impose concrete conditions on Turkey. Thus, a comparison inevitably comes to mind: official Yerevan merely establishes diplomatic relations with Ankara, without solving national priority tasks, which is wittingly disadvantageous for the Armenian Cause, but can be profitable for country's economy," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



According to him, it is important to realize who pushed Yerevan into Turkey's arms and who is the ideologist of normalizing relations. "Russia realized clearly, that Armenian-Turkish reconciliation would make variance between Ankara and Baku. That made Azerbaijan address Moscow to bargain support in the Karabakh issue," he said, adding that dynamics of recent Russian-Turkish relations are characterized by the growth in turnover, political approximation and common geopolitical interest.



"In this situation Armenia with its legitimate claims to Ankara, becomes a buffer in fulfillment of certain plans. The U.S., yielding to Moscow in influence over Yerevan, quickly patterned its behavior and started to play own geopolitical solitaire, trying to extract some profit from the situation. Actually, Armenian-Turkish negotiations conceal a geopolitical game which can change world's power balance," stressed Davtyan.
