Sergey Shakaryants: RA President may be forced to leave for Turkey
"Everybody says Armenia may find itself under pressure in autumn. Many variants are considered. It's hard to speak about the kind of pressures, but they are sure to be exerted on us," political scientist Sergey Shakaryants told a news conference in Yerevan.

Even though Armenian President says he will not go to Turkey unless Turkish side fulfills its promise, he may be forced to go there, Shakaryants believes.

Besides, he said, pressures may result in Armenia's refusal to involve NKR in conflict settlement talks.

Armenian political scientist did not rule out the possibility of a new war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. «Everything is possible, but that will not happen till 2009. Azerbaijan will not dare to start a new war. It will rather wait for a new commotion in the region before thinking about a war,» the expert stressed.
