There will be no breakthrough in Armenian-Turkish relations either by fall, or during fall, Aleksandr Skakov, head of CIS department of the Russian Institute for Strategic Research told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
“Armenian-Turkish dialog is actually frozen. When started this process Ankara was pursuing momentary goals: strengthen its positions in the Caucasus, stop the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, drive a wedge between Armenia and Diaspora,” Russian expert said.
According to Aleksandr Skakov, there is no common approach to the process of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations either in Turkey or in Armenia.
According to Aleksandr Skakov, the stable position of the Turkish side in this process and in the framework of other international processes is important for Russia. “If Russia could be sure that there is no third force behind the Armenian-Turkish process, it would be geared up more positively, ” Mr. Skakov stressed.
