Turkey won’t deploy its peacekeepers in Nakhichevan, says expert
Director of the Department of the Orient Studies of the National
Academy of Sciences, Rouben Safrastian said he rules out the
possibility of deployment of the Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan.
`I believe that there will not be Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan;
there is no legal basis for such a deployment,’ said analyst.
`If Turkey tries to do so basing on the Kars Treaty then note that
there is no single word about it in the document. In case of
deployment of Turkish peacekeepers in Nakhichevan, Turkey will enter
into the open conflict against Russia,’ he said.
`I also believe that the existing in the South Caucasus status-quo
works in favor of Russia,’ pointed Rouben Safrastian. He added that he
also considers that there are no any preconditions for concerns over
the deployment of peacekeepers in zone of the Karabakh conflict.
