Armenian-Turkish talks have been hold for a long time and it's not ruled out that the power of Turkish diplomacy and process initiators have been underestimated, according to Andrey Areshev, deputy director of Russian strategic culture foundation.

"The tension at the Armenian-Georgian border which as if emerged from nowhere is not accidental. As all know, contingency is a rare phenomenon in politics," he said.

"Opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will have both positive and negative consequences. Some western experts believe that this move will tear Armenia from Russia. They also link the reconciliation process to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, to be more precise surrender of territories connecting Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh Republic," he said.

Areshev supposes that with development of an unfavorable scenario, Armenia and Karabakh may face serious problems in the region. "This will be harmful for Russia, Iran, China, Arab and Central Asian countries as well," he said.

"Possible replacements in Russian chairmanship in the OSCE Minsk Group can attach positive dynamics to the Karabakh process. At that, Armenia and Russia will not drift apart. Both countries face similar challenges and should combat them together," Areshev concluded.
