“Only in Zurich Armenia has realized that Turkey managed to turn the Armenia-Turkey process to their favorable channel,” Director of the Political Economy Center Andranik Tevanyan said at the press conference Oct. 28.

According to him, it is too late to try to turn the process in favor for Armenia. He says only a hard-line strategy in Nagorno-Karabakh may improve Armenia’s situation. Tevanyan reminded that it is only due to initiatives of Armenian authorities that the Karabakh issue became part of Turkey’s foreign policy.

Earlier, when Armenian Genocide was burning issue for Turkey, Ankara had not interfered into Azeri problems. However, due to the “football diplomacy” the Genocide is no more a headache for Turkey. “They managed to relegate the Genocide issue to just a point in Armenia-Turkey relations. Whereas, the Karabakh peace process was puffed up on the scale of Palestine-Israel conflict requiring immediate action,” assures the expert.
