Ariel Cohen: "Azerbaijan may also suffer from the geopolitical reorientation of Turkey on Russia and Eurasia and Ankara's distancing from the United States"

The normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia is a slow process but there is a good will of both parties, said Ariel Cohen, famous US specialist on Eurasia, expert in the sphere of external policy, security and international relations, leader of the Russia-Eurasian direction at "The Heritage Foundation".

"The matter is how Turks will settle the issue of the historical facts of 1915-1917 and what should Turkey do for the history to stop modernization in their relations. When the dead will stop seizing the alive? As Turkey today is passing the stage of political Islamization and in the result of this very complex geopolitical reorientation it is distancing from the West. Azerbaijan can also suffer from this".

According to Cowen, improvement of relations between Turkey and Armenia should be viewed in the context of geopolitical reorientation of Turkey top Russia and Eurasia and Turkey's distancing from the United States.

"Therefore, Azerbaijan should approach the processes between Ankara and Yerevan carefully", concluded he.
