Azerbaijani political analyst named the main scenario of Armenian-Turkish relations in the upcoming 6 months

“Those in Armenia and Turkey were aware what would the requirement for U.S. President Barack Obama to recognize the Armenian "genocide" end up with,” Azerbaijani political expert Rasim Agayev said.

"It was clear that he will not utter this word. This is a political plot of Washington, with which it encourages Armenians and bends Ankara in its will. This game has lasted since 1970s. It took a lot of money, effort and statements. But everything remains on almost about the same level," he said.

"Obama said what he said last year. This is a millimetre-step towards the Armenians. But Armenians should blame themselves for this. The expression "Metz Yeghern" ("Great Tragedy") was used by Armenians themselves as an equivalent to the word "genocide". But if this is not equivalent, it is their fault,” the political expert said.

"The same thing will happen in future as well. The United States will continue to exert pressure so that the Armenian-Turkish normalization will be success. I think this will be the main scenario of the upcoming half-year term. The U.S. will do everything so that Ankara and Yerevan will normalize relations. I think borders will open and diplomatic relations will be established gradually,” Agayev added.

"When all this happens, it will require some time to finalize settlement of the Karabakh conflict. If at least two of the Armenian-occupied regions are liberated without prejudice to other terms of the settlement of the conflict, it can advance resolution of the conflict in the near future. But if there is no such a prospect, the Karabakh conflict settlement will be bound with a later period," the expert noted.
