Commenting to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter on the forthcoming meeting between Turkish President Abdullah Gul and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev, turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said that there are no premises for Turkey's involvement in Karabakh process.
“Turkey always strived to become a regional power but it will not succeed as Ankara’s intentions are not sincere. Inclusion of Karabakh issue in the agenda of Gul-Medvedev talks is an end in itself rather than interest,” he said.
Turkish media reports say that Turkish and Russian Presidents will discuss the Nagorno Karabakh conflict on the sidelines of a global political forum to be held in Yaroslavl, Russia, on September 7-8. Abdullah Gul and Dmitry Medvedev will also focus on Iran’s nuclear program and the recent developments in Middle East.
The forum will be attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Latvian President Valdis Zatlers.
