Only Russia’s involvement can neutralize the Turkish factor in the region. Russia is the only country that can do this in an effective manner. This is what second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan told analysts during a meeting devoted to the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and posted on Kocharyan’s official YouTube channel.

“The objective situation is such that Russia is the only country that can effectively neutralize Turkey’s influence on the region. I don’t believe that the sanctions against Russia will essentially weaken Russia. I believe Russia has shown that it doesn’t change its policy under the influence of sanctions. Nobody can influence countries with tremendous potential and countries that have been imperial in the past. It is necessary to negotiate, find common ground, persuade and respect their interests, as well as avoid touching upon topics that are sensitive to the people of the country. There are simply peoples and countries with which speaking in the language of ultimatums is nonsensical. Russia is one of those countries, and Armenia needs to negotiate and cooperate with Russia and find common ground, not speak with ultimatums,” he said.
