MOSCOW. – The process of reconciliation between Armenia and Turkey will not move forward this year, political scientist at the Eastern Studies Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Skakov told Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent adding that the suspension is conditioned by several factors.
“First, it is domestic political situation in Turkey. Serious steps by Ankara are suspended by the pre-election struggle. Second, Azerbaijan blackmails Turkey openly threatening to raise prices for the energetic resources and to refuse transportation, which is beneficial for Turkey. When Azerbaijani actions will no longer work, new steps are possible in normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,” Skakov said.
