After the parliamentary elections in Turkey, the issue with Armenia will no longer have importance: other problems will be more important than relations with Armenia, said Armenian Center for National and International Studies Director Richard Giragosian, speaking to journalists in Yerevan today.
“Turkey-US, as well as Turkey-Israel relations are worse than before. [As a result of which,] because of Turkey’s problems with Israel, the Israel lobby in Washington might help the Armenian lobby in pushing for genocide recognition — as a way to punish Turkey. The Americans were upset with Turkey over Iran, over the Middle East, there’s a number of problems, and even regarding Armenia-Turkey, the United States is disappointed with Turkey,” he said.
