    SERGEY SHAKARYANTS: MISSILE CRISIS FORMING AROUND CAUCASUS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Superpowers, namely Russia and the United
    States, are waging struggle for installation of anti-missile systems
    worldwide. The US plans to install missile defense shields in Romania
    and Turkey. In response, Russia speaks about stationing S-400 systems
    in some CIS states, as well as Iran." Sergey Shakaryants told a news
    conference in Yerevan.

    "A missile crisis is forming around Caucasus, with no forecasts as
    to the date of its termination," he said. "Global processes like this
    seem to push Karabakh issue, Armenia-Turkey border opening and Iran's
    nuclear program to the background."

    Dwelling on the impact of Russia-US missile crisis on Karabakh conflict
    settlement and Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, Mr. Shakaryants said
    that the issues above will remain frozen until the missile crisis
    is solved. "Still, a moment may come for Azerbaijan, driven to
    desperation, to resume hostilities," he added.

    "Turkish nationalists have apprehensions about the Armenian-Turkish
    border opening, intensified by current Kurdization of Turkish regions,
    adjacent to Armenia. Nationalists are concerned that Armenians and
    Kurds may unite around a common goal, which runs counter to Turkey's
    national interests," the expert concluded.
