Should Armenian-Turkish dialogue fail because of Baku, the world will appraise the factSeptember 21, 2009 - 14:31 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In perspective, not only RA and Turkey, but also Azerbaijan will benefit from RA-Turkish rapprochement, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Vesti TV channel. "Turks and Azeris keep repeating they are one nation living in different countries. I do not argue, but should Armenian-Turkish dialogue fail because of Baku, international community has to give appraisal to the fact," he emphasized. According to Serzh Sargsyan, by expressing a wish to see progress in NKR issue resolution, Turkey intends for Armenia to make unilateral concessions. Linking RA-Turkish dialogue with NKR issue spells no quick solutions to either of the problem, he added. "Alternative communications, alternative roads are a must to any country, especially to Armenia, as a land locked state, located in unstable region, as proved by August 2008 events. But more is at stake here. I mean, the return of our region to natural international coordinate system," Serzh Sargsyan stated.
