Superpowers’ pressure on Yerevan in connection with NKR issue is not linked to RA-Turkish rapprochement

“Declassified protocols is a direct proof Turkey separates Armenian-Turkish rapprochement from NKR issue,” Caucasus Institute Director, politologist Alexander Iskandaryan told a news conference in Yerevan. “Documents carry no mention of NKR. Those trying to read between the lines could find anything in them,” the politologist noted.
According to him, Turkish authorities have make a number of statements on Azerbaijan’s interests being taken into account in RA-Turkish rapprochement process. “Turkey has to play on several fields – American, European, Azeri and Turkish,” Iskandaryan noted.

Even since 1990s Armenia has been under pressure in connection with NKR issue. “The pressure goes stronger or weaker. It might continue into the future, still it is not linked with Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process,” Armenian politologist noted.
