Turkey for its part considers that Armenia should stop being an instrument in the hands of anti-Turkish forces, first of all the Russian special services and right-wing conservative parties in Europe,' Alizade said. At the same time he stressed he is a cautious optimist and sets hope upon "the reason and the sense of historical prospects of the Armenian people." "Presently Armenia's position doesn't give ground for optimism," he said.
