YEREVAN. - I have no idea how Turkey can take part in the talks on Nagorno-Karabakh unless it normalizes its relations with Armenia.

Researcher of a Turkish political center, Burcu Gültekin Punsmann, said the aforementioned during a press-conference organized by Region Research Center, touching on the issue whether it is possible to include Ankara in the negotiation process round the Karabakh conflict.

According to the Turkish researcher, she has been an advocate for the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation for about two decades. “Yes, I would once again repeat that Turkey should normalize its ties with Armenia to take an active position in South Caucasus. I can’t imagine how Turkey can take part in the talks on Nagorno-Karabakh unless it normalizes its relations with Armenia. The only way this could happen is if Moscow openly asks Turkey to get involved in the process,” the expert said.
