Igor Muradyan foresees new political misallianceApril 28, 2009 - 22:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - ARF Dashnaktsutyun seceded from the ruling coalition because ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan and President Serzh Sargsyan may join, according to an Armenian analyst Igor Muradyan.He came to this conclusion while analyzing coincidences of two political leaders' views on relations with Turkey. Mr. Muradyan disproved statements by Armenian analytics that U.S. and EU are interested in opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. He deems Russia is the reason. "Turkey adapts the policy to its internal needs and is successful. However, it contradicts to interests of the United States, whose decision to develop a special system to frighten Turkey dates back to 1990s," he said. "Assurances that the U.S. is interested in soonest normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations are groundless. Europeans are not interested in Armenia but they can us as a tool to prevent Turkey joining the EU," Igor Muradyan said.
