    ARMAN MELIKYAN: ARMENIAN-TURKISH PROCESS DOOMED TO FAILURE

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's meetings with U.S. President
    Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan are of
    strategic importance for Yerevan, Ankara and Washington, according
    to Arman Melikyan, NKR ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs.

    "Yet, Armenia implied normalization of relations with Turkey while the
    U.S. and Turkey pursued global interests," he told a news conference
    in Yerevan.

    "Tensions in American-Turkish relations will grow and Ankara's
    unwillingness to ratify the protocols on normalization of relations
    with Armenia will arm the U.S. with a new political leverage," Mr.

    Melikyan said. "The Armenian-Turkish process is doomed to failure,
    paralyzing Armenia."

    As to Karabakh conflict, he said he doesn't exclude resolution of the
    problem in Russia-U.S.-EU format. "With Russia and U.S. approximating
    positions on a number of issues, the problem can be given a global
    solution," he said.

    Meanwhile, Mr. Melikyan did not rule out the possibility of resumption
    of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh.
