Turkey is a hostage of Azerbaijan, this is reasons that implementation of the Armenia-Turkey protocols is unlikely, says political analyst Mateusz Piskorski.

“I think you must not expect changes in Turkey’s foreign policy in 2014. The visit of Turkish FM Ahmet Davutyoglu most likely was nothing but Ankara’s intention to show its readiness for dialogue as this was demanded by the U.S., Turkey’s ally,” Piskorski told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Piskorski, Director of the European Center of Geopolitical Analysis, said in the context of presidential elections in 2014 and parliamentary elections in 2015 in Turkey, one must not expect serious steps aimed at thaw in relations with Yerevan.

“This refers to the Genocide recognition, too. Most likely the issue will become a part of the agenda of the election campaign,” he resumed.

 In October 2009 Armenia and Turkey signed protocols in Zurich to normalize diplomatic relations between the states. In 2010 the Armenian president suspended the process due to Turkey’s non-constructive stance. Ankara set preconditions and linked the reconciliation process to resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
