Russia's position in Caucasus weakens
Turkish diplomacy should not be underestimated, a Russian expert said.
"Russia's positions in the Caucasus are weakening. Moscow should focus on the region, otherwise it will be too late," Andrey Areshev, deputy director general of strategic culture foundation, told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Turkey is working seriously. Turkish Foreign Minister will meet with his Armenian counterpart in New York in September. Then, Presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan will discuss Karabakh issue in Nakhijevan," he said.
He reminded that Turkey is one of Russia's major trade partners while Armenia is its strategic partner. "Nevertheless, the process of normalization between Yerevan and Ankara is going on under the aegis of the U.S. and EU," he said.
