David Babayan to Mevlut Cavusoglu: Ankara and Baku indulge in wishful  thinking 

ArmInfo. Ankara and Baku indulge in wishful thinking when it comes to Karabakh peace process, David Babayan, Spokesperson for Nagorno Karabakh President, told ArmInfo, on October 13.  Babayan commented on the statement by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu saying that allegedly Armenian troops' withdrawal from "the occupied Azerbaijani territories especially from the five districts" has lately been on the agenda and Russia allegedly insist on that.  

"They are indulging in wishful thinking," Babayan said adding that  such "surrealistic" scenarios feet into the policy of those  countries. "No rapprochement is possible between Turkey and Russia,  and much less cooperation in the strategic issues, as Ankara and  Moscow have various interests. However, a short-term cooperation  between the two countries will have a positive impact on the region,  as the level of their rivalry is reducing," he said. According to  Babayan, Russia and other countries are well aware that it is Artsakh  and Armenia that deter the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem in the region  and will not take any actions against that tandem.
