The bill adopted by the French Senate may make Turkey return to
negotiations with Armenia, Director of the Center for Regional Studies
Richard Giragosian told a press conference today.
According to him, there can be two motives: Turkey will either wish to
use the negotiations with Armenia to stop the process of recognition
of the Armenian Genocide or will try to escape its own foreign policy
problems by shifting the attention from the East to the West.
The analyst noted that "Turkey must come to understand that Armenia's
patience is not endless." "Besides, Armenia may change its mind and
decide not to negotiate without preconditions," he added.
Richard Giragosian considers that if Vladimir Putin comes to power
in Russia, the methods of settlement of the Karabakh conflict will
sharply change. According to him, Putin is less tolerant and his
mediating efforts may be restricted to organizing a meeting between
the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan and exerting pressure on
both parties.
Richard Giragosian recalled that an Azerbaijani Officer yielded himself
prisoner to the Armenian side and a murder attempt was organized
against the Israeli Ambassador. According to him, this means that
Azerbaijan is a source of danger because of its instability unlike
Armenia, which is a supporter of peace and stability.
