Alexander Sotnichenko: Turkey interested in Karabakh conflict resolution
Turkey is willing to strengthen positions in the Caucasus, a Russian expert said.

"Russia and Turkey are regional leaders. So long as Moscow is not active. Turkey wants to seize every opportunity to gain more power. Under the circumstances, normalization of relations with Armenia will be Turkey's global victory," Alexander Sotnichenko, a senior fellow at Saint Petersburg center of oriental studies, told PanARMENIAN.Net.

At that he noted that Turkey is highly interested in resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict but will hardly make a decision conflicting with Azerbaijan's interests.
