/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish diplomacy should not be underestimated,
a Russian expert said.
"Russia’s positions in the Caucasus are weakening. Moscow should focus
on the region, otherwise it will be too late," Andrey Areshev, deputy
director general of strategic culture foundation, told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Turkey is working seriously. Turkish Foreign Minister will meet with
his Armenian counterpart in New York in September. Then, Presidents
of Turkey and Azerbaijan will discuss Karabakh issue in Nakhijevan,"
he said.
He reminded that Turkey is one of Russia’s major trade partners
while Armenia is its strategic partner. "Nevertheless, the process
of normalization between Yerevan and Ankara is going on under the
aegis of the U.S. and EU," he said.
