Turkey ideates Georgia's federative arrangement
Azerbaijan and Turkey are Georgia's strategic partners, so the visit of the Georgian Foreign Minister to Armenian Genocide Museum is purely a ceremonial event, an Armenian expert said.
"Recently Ankara and Baku have been closely cooperating with Turkic regions of Georgia - Marneuli and Kvemo Kartli," Caucasus Institute Deputy Director Sergei Minasyan told a news conference.
"Turkey is considering federative arrangement of Georgia, where Turkic regions will have autonomy rights. It's clear that Tbilisi wouldn't venture such a step, but the idea is supported by Azerbaijan, pursuing its own interests in Georgia," he said.
Minasyan also referred to the hearsay centering on possible repatriation of Meskhetian Turks to Javakhk.
"This has been spoken about for some 10 years, yet we have to take it seriously. Official Yerevan must decide on the order of priorities in Javakhk," the expert emphasized.
