    Yerevan (Yerkir) - "The U.S. key dimension is Afghanistan, which
    sidelined Iran and Iraq," director of the Institute of Oriental Studies
    at the National Academy of Sciences, professor Ruben Safrastyan told
    a news conference today, PanArmenian.Net reported.

    "For the purpose, Washington will need Ankara's support. Keep in mind
    that CIS chief arrived in Turkey immediately after Obama's phone talks
    with President Gul and Prime Minister Erdogan," he said. "Leon Panetta
    was reported to discuss a possibility of deploying of a U.S. base
    in Turkey."

    This scenario will inevitably affect the Armenian-Turkish relations,
    according to prof. Safrastyan.

    "Proceeding from national interests, Barack Obama will not use the term
    'genocide' in his annual April 24 statement," he said.

    He also emphasized that that after the Russian-Georgian clashes,
    Europe will work to launch Nabucco project, which will pump Azeri
    gas to European states through Turkey.

    "During his recent visit to Brussels, Erdogan did not rule out that
    Turkey will renounce its EU bid. This way, Ankara is trying to enhance
    its reputation," prof. Safrastyan said.
