Speaking of the influence of Armenia-Turkey’s normalization on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Wexler said “I believe that the Turkey-Armenia ties normalization will encourage these countries to show their will in solving other regional problems."

Wexler said once basic problems in South Caucasus are solved, the regions importance as energy supplier and a number other sphere will increase.
