Despite the statement of the European officials on the need to halt the talks between Turkey and EU, the talks between Ankara and Brussels will continue in some form or other.

Expert at the Center of Central Asia and Caucasus of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, political analyst Andrey Areshev told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

In his words, these statements have a conjuncture character. ''The talks between Ankara and Brussels will continue in some form or other, although at this stage they will most likely yield no specific results,'' the analyst noted.

According to him, the sides are interested in such talks, since the economic ties and political contacts between Brussels and Ankara depend on many inter-political and extra-political factors.

''As you know, now a significant group of fighters is concentrated in Idlib, which is on the border with Turkey, and the Europeans are unlikely to want the Turkish authorities to open the doors for these potentially ''peaceful refugees'' to the West, providing them all the necessary documents,'' Areshev noted.

Everything will most likely happen the other way round, the West exerting maximum efforts for the prosperity of the further Syrian resistance. ''And this, in its turn, give the Turkish partners an additional ace,'' he stressed.  

Against this background, as per the expert, the Russian-Turkish relations will as before have an extremely complex and controversial character.
