Without world powers -Russia, USA and EU it's impossible to normalize ties between Armenia and Turkey, Armenian politologist, Caucasus Institute Director Alexander Iskandaryan noted during Yerevan-Moscow TV bridge entitled "Armenia-Turkey: Progress in bilateral relations or geopolitical games of world powers?".

"Normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties is a process where world powers influence each other as well as conflicting parties, Armenia and Turkey," Alxander Iskandaryan noted. According to Armenian politologist, in the process of Armenian-Turkish ties normalization Turkey abandoned 2 of 3 preconditions set. "I believe that today there's a probability that negotiation process started between Yerevan and Ankara will be continued," Alexander Iskandaryan said.
