Armenian expert: "Intensification of Armenian-Turkish relations is profitable only for Turkey"

"Only Turkey can benefit from recently intensified Armenian-Turkish relations", considers former spokesman of Armenian Foreign Ministry, coordinator on external ties of the opposition Armenian national congress Vladimir Karapetyan.

"Showing the so-called attempts to restore relations with Armenia to the whole world, still keeps the border closed and does not establish diplomatic relations", added he.

Moreover, according to him, the trilateral meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey in New York helped Turkey to present itself to the world community as one of the mediators in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

Another achievement of Turkey was the suspension of the process of international recognition of "Armenian genocide", according to him.

"Due to the rumors about creation of the Armenian-Turkish commission of historians to study 1915 events, no state has recognized "the genocide" this year", added Karapetyan.
