Armenia-Turkey protocols hardly to have specific content: Russian expert

"All parties are interested in finding a way out of this situation and saving a face," Mursaliyev said.

"In this regard, perhaps, the protocols will be ratified, but it is unlikely that they will have a specific content."

The Turkish Prime Minister said in his interview with Trend News that Turkey and Armenia will sign a deal to establish diplomatic ties on Oct. 10.

He said the deal will be signed by the countries' foreign ministers, but it must be ratified by the countries' parliaments before it takes effect.

Theoretically, the Turkish parliament can ratify the agreement, but this process will be somewhat more complicated at the Armenian parliament, since there is alignment of forces is not so unambiguous, Mursaliyev explained.

In Turkey, the ruling party controls the parliament and has an absolute majority, but in Armenia -  not the ruling party, but the ruling coalition, the expert said.

In his opinion, foreign policy in Armenia is used in the domestic political struggle, and such negotiations are always a convenient excuse to blame the enemy in betrayal of national interests.

"Why not ratify the treaty accompanied by certain excuses? On Oct. 10, any law-tricks could be invented to postpone the decision so that a dialogue will continue during Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Turkey on Oct. 14," Mursaliyev said.
