Turkey was forced into establishment of relations with Armenia
"Turkey doesn't renounce it policy to enter AU, but is trying to conduct alternative policy to strengthen its position in Caucasus and Middle East," Armen Ashotyan, member of the RA parliament and the Republican Party of Armenia stated.

According to him, Armenian -Turkish relations can't be named bilateral, rather, they constitute a part of global policy. USA, RF, EU M are main forces in the region, and Armenian-Turkish relations are fully dependent on them. "Turkey was left with no alternatives in the issue of Armenian-Turkish relations establishment . The region needs stability so the policy should support economic advantages.".

When questioned by PanARMENIAN.Net reporter about Turkey's participation in Nuclear Power Station Construction Ashotyan said: "Joint construction of NPS won't endanger RA national security."

"I take this statement for continuation of RA President's policy, that could become a trump card in Armenian diplomacy."
