Ankara will sign RA-Turkish protocols to demonstrate peacefulness

PanARMENIAN.Net - Ankara will sign protocols on RA-Turkish rapprochement to demonstrate its peaceful intentions towards Armenia, Deputy Director of MGIMO Caucasus Research Center Vladimir Zakharov told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



"Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's recent statement on October 10 protocols' conclusion and NKR's issues' interconnection with RA-Turkish dialogue raises concerns. No one is 100% sure as to protocols' exact contents," the Russian expert said. According to Vladimir Zakharov, there's a possibility Turkey might allow procrastinations in ratification process. It's obvious Ankara and Baku are excellently coordinating their steps behind Yerevan's back, Vladimir Zakharov added.



The Russian expert sees interconnection between the oncoming visit of MG OSCE and RA-Turkish protocols conclusion. "Rumors go, the Co-Chairs will submit reviewed Madrid principles to RA and Azeri Governments, yet we're unaware as to their contents. Might they contain a point on NKR secession?" Vladimir Zakharov questions.
