Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan commented possible changes in the Armenian-Turkish process after a meeting between Turkish Prime Minister and RA President in Washington, DC.

“If Mr. Erdogan keeps insisting on its last statements and linking the normalization process with the Nagorno Karabakh settlement while the Armenian side continues asserting that these two processes are not interrelated, no progress will be registered in the rapprochement process,” he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to him, Turkey may undertake some steps to keep the process alive. “Ankara is more interested in the Sargsyan-Erdogan meeting than Yerevan. Unlike Armenia having an exact position on the issue, Turkey still has something to say,” the expert said.

“On the threshold of April 24, Turkey tries to resort to primitive cunning tricks. Erdogan’s sincerity is rather dubious,” Mr. Melkonyan said and added that Turkey will hardly succeed in deceiving the international community this time.
