Turkey won't be allowed into Karabakh talks
Turkey is aspired to join the OSCE Minsk Group talks for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement and even to head the process in future, a Russian expert said.
"Turkey argues good knowledge of the region and says it can do more than the world powers. However, it's nothing but ambitions," Vladimir Zakharov, head of the center of Caucasus Studies at Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Neither the U.S. nor Russia or France will leave hold of the Minsk Group, according to him.
"Caucasus can't exist without Russia. The international community has finally come to understand it. Turkey is an interested party, so it can't co-chair the Minsk Group," Zakharov said.
