“Armenian should prevent Turkey’s intention” (video)
After yesterday’s terrorist act in Ankara Erdogan canceled his today’s visit to Azerbaijan. According to the words of Sergey Minasyan it allowed Ilham Aliyev to take a breath, as the Azerbaijani side cannot give an unequivocal answer to anti-Russian statements expected from Erdogan in Baku. “In the context of Russian-Turkish conflict, Baku faces a serious problem. Here [in Baku] both the political and the society’s liking if for Turkey, but Azerbaijan never forgets about the Russian factor and refrains from making a definite choice,” said the political analyst, who is sure that at the moment Turkey will be warier in the issue of Armenia, “I am sure that Armenia’s air defense is readier for possible cases, besides, Russia’s air force won’t lose the opportunity to take a revenge on Turkey,” he noted. In reply to the question what steps Armenia should take in the case of tension between Russian and Turkey, Sergey Minasyan answered, “We must aim at refraining from any military clash. Turkey is evidently leading an adventurous policy with its western partners, and will try to get involved in Artsakh issue. Armenian should work with western partners trying to prevent it.”
