As a matter of fact, Turkey does not anticipate significant concessions from Armenia; it just wants to coerce Yerevan into signing another Maindorf Declaration on Karabakh, Turkish studies expert Artak Shakaryan finds.

"Such efforts are aimed at showing Turkey that Karabakh conflict settlement and Armenian-Turkish normalization are equal processes, so should RA-Turkish rapprochement conflict with Azerbaijan's interests the latter will not easily break off with Turkey," he told a news conference in Yerevan.

Touching on Turkish-Israeli relations, Armenian expert characterized it as a dramatized show for Iran.

Maindorf Declaration: an interstate agreement signed by Presidents of Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Armenia and Russian Federation on November 2, 2008 in Maindorf (outskirts of Moscow).

Under the document, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan took commitment "to contribute to enhancing the situation in South Caucasus and ensuring peace, stability and security via political settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict based on the principles and norms of international law and decisions and documents deriving thereof."

Parties reiterated the significant role of continuing Minsk Group's mediatory efforts in the frameworks of Madrid Document (dated Nov. 29, 2007).

They also agreed that "peaceful conflict settlement should be accompanied by legally binding international guarantees."
