For quite a long time, the political and expert community of Armenia has been disseminating the utterly incompetent thesis that if Yerevan establishes friendly and good-neighborly relations with Ankara, Turkey will restrain Azerbaijan's growing ambitions, political analyst Benjamin Matevosyan told NEWS.am.

Moreover, the expert community of Armenia, which adheres to the pro-governmental views, as well as some media outlets, have been pushing this very agenda in the last two to three months.

"This thesis was promoted by them word for word. They claim it was Turkey which did not allow Azerbaijan to launch war against Armenia," Matevosyan said, recalling that the thesis failed miserably.

According to him, the rest of the policy of the current government has also failed and been discredited.
