Turkey leaves Azerbaijan alone to settle Karabakh problem

PanARMENIAN.Net - In fact, Turkey has already left Azerbaijan alone in Nagorno- Karabakh problem settlement, Alexander Iskandaryan, the director of Caucasus Institute said to the reporters. According to him, the very fact of the start of Armenian-Turkish relations proves that Karabakh conflict is no longer on the agenda for the normalization of the relations. It became clear to everybody long ago that Armenia will never exchange Karabakh for the border opening. The pledges by Turkish officials regarding Baku that Turkey will always support Azerbaijan in Karabakh conflict are nothing but pledges. They are given not only for Azerbaijan's sake, but also for Turkey's sake- for its internal benefit. Local authority elections are to be held on March 29, in Turkey, and Recep Erdoghan's ruling party must strengthen its hand. Turkey is now undergoing the change of business-elites, and every politician strives to look more nationalistic than its opponent, Iskandaryan said.
