    YEREVAN, MAY 12, NOYAN TAPAN. 20 documents will be signed within the
    framework of RF President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Turkey, 12 out
    of which are agreements. Turkologist Hakob Chakrian saying this at
    May 12 press conference stated that though there are manifestations
    of Russian-Turkish partnership, Turkey cannot "move away from the
    West and establish close relations with Russia."

    Head of YSU political science chair Garik Kerian said that we
    clearly see that both sides want to establish close contacts and to
    collaborate. However, in his words, we should take into consideration
    the historic-political implication when speaking of Russian-Turkish
    relations. It is a unique moment in Russian-Turkish relations now.

    "These countries were traditionally conflicting states. Now it is an
    exclusive moment in the mutual relations. Certainly, it is difficult
    to predict its outcome," G. Kerian stressed.

    According to him, Turkey has understood that it will be difficult to
    enter the South Caucasus if it has a conflict with Russia. Speaking
    about Russian-Turkish rapprochement's consequences for Armenia G.

    Kerian said that it will give Armenia additional security guarantees
    as Russia, the strategic ally of Armenia, which has the status of
    "neither war nor peace" moves to certain collaboration with the state
    violating Armenia's interests, Turkey, and here we can hope that the
    Russians will restrain the anti-Armenian steps of the Turks.

    H. Chakrian said that Russia's only support in the South Caucasus is
    Armenia and losing the latter Russia will also lose the South Caucasus.
