Expert on Armenian FM’s participation in Erdogan’s inauguration

Turkish studies expert Hakob Chakryan does not think that Armenia
should not have agreed to attend the inauguration of Turkish
President-elect Erdogan at the Foreign Minister level.

At a meeting with reporters on Thursday, Chakryan said that such
events usually enable the participants to meet and talk to each other
and if Armenia sent a lower-level delegation, it would get isolated.

According to the expert, currently, the U.S. and EU are putting
pressure on Turkey because it refuses to normalize its relations with
Armenia.

If Edward Nalbandian did not go to Turkey, it would have negative
consequences in this context, he concluded.
