PanARMENIAN.Net – Though Arab Spring and Syria conflict were discussed
during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Turkey, no final
decisions were taken, Armenian political expert said.

“Russian and Turkish presidents are “turning a blind eye” to the
current developments, despite the discussion of strategic problems
and economic cooperation plans,” Levon Hovsepyan said, adding that
the slightest tension may bring about Russian-Turkish open conflict.

Putin departed for Istanbul Dec 3 to attend third meeting of High-Level
Russian-Turkish Cooperation Council.
