    TURKEY WAITS FOR RUSSIA TO MAKE A MOVE ON KARABAKH

    Georgia

    Ankara has accepted that no major moves can be made in the South
    Caucasus without Russia's involvement, particularly in the so-called
    frozen conflicts, Karabakh above all. Now Turkey is attempting to
    repair relations with Armenia it expects Moscow will help facilitate
    at least a partial regulation of the Karabakh conflict so this process
    can continue unhindered.

    Armenia's economic and defence problems have become a serious headache
    for The Kremlin recently, says Azeri newspaper Zerkalo, and Moscow
    is therefore seeking a way to resolve the conflict which has created
    these problems, which should be good news for Turkey.

    Ankara welcomed EU involvement in stopping the Russian aggression of
    August 2008 in Georgia but was not very happy to allow US Navy vessels
    to pass through the Bosporus to enter the Black Sea. Ankara is clearly
    irritated by certain US steps in the region and the pressure it tries
    to put on Turkey.
