ESCALATION OF TENSION AROUND KARABAKH NOT IN TURKEY’S BEST INTERESTS – RUSSIAN ANALYST
August 17, 2013 | 02:43
A new, real layout of forces around Nagorno-Karabakh is not observed,
Russian political scientist Alexander Karavayev toldArmenian
News-NEWS.am.
In his words, the whole world favors a pacific settlement to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“Overall, these observable facts can be called diplomatic ethics,”
Karavayev added.
The analyst noted that Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s recent
statements in connection with Nagorno-Karabakh continue the
already-indicated path of the political elite of the third countries,
which tend to see solely a political scenario for conflict resolution.
The Russian political scientist expressed a view that the escalation
of tension around Nagorno-Karabakh is not in Turkey’s best interests.
As for the Turkish president’s statement of the need for resolving
the Karabakh issue as soon as possible, Alexander Karavayev argued:
“Some may see military scenario theses, but I personally see a peaceful
rhetoric in this. By voicing its view out loud, [official] Ankara is
trying to hint the need for [official] Yerevan to make concessions.”
