Suspension of the Armenian-Turkish process was quite a heavy blow for
the US, political expert Sergey Minasyan told reporters today. He
noted that for the US now a serious situation has been created in
the Middle East.

“Turkey is behaving like a serious opponent for the US not only in the
Armenian-Turkish normalization process, but also in Turkish-Israeli
and Iran-related issues,” the expert said.

According to him, the most serious conflict in Turkish-American
relations came after Turkey voted against the UN Security Council
resolution over applying sanctions against Iran.

“Currently the US will be more interested in the freezing of
Armenian-Turkish process rather than its resumption,” the expert said,
noting that the possible visit of the US State Secretary Hillary
Clinton will not mark the beginning of a new process.
