Armenia tries to break Turkey-Azerbaijan tandem

15 March 2006 [12:18] - TODAY.AZ
"Armenia should maximally keep the distance from the history. Only in this case normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations is possible," expert, political scientist Stepan Grigoryan stated.

In his words, ARF Dashnaktsutyun is guilty in conclusion of the Moscow Treaty on March 16, 1921, which signed it on behalf of Armenia. "It was exactly when we lost everything and the Kars Treaty, signed October 13 of the same year, merely fixed that loss," he remarked. In his words, no party will win anything in case of revision or denouncement of the Moscow Treaty.

"I am repeating, if we do not refer to history, but start establishing relations with Turkey, it will notably weaken Azerbaijan's position in the region. In fact Armenia is able to break the Turkey-Azerbaijan tandem for its interest," Grigoryan emphasized.

According to the Moscow Treaty Turkey had agreed to yield sovereignty over Batumi port and town, as well as territory making part of Batumi District, to Georgia, "Nakhichevan region in the boundaries, indicated in the attachment to the present Treaty forms an autonomous territory under the patronage of Azerbaijan, stipulated that Azerbaijan will not cede it to a third State. Russia pledges to makes steps regarding the Transcaucasian Republics, so as these without fail recognize articles of the present Treaty that refer to them in treaties to be concluded between them and Turkey."
