"Turkey is still not rational and is clung to the working style of dictating preconditions," said senior expert at the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Manvel Sargsyan.

Meanwhile, according to the expert, the US doesn't comprehend Turkey's efforts aimed at linking the process with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"Turkey is forced to come to grips with that fact because it is hurting itself more with its persistence," said the expert during a press conference today, taking note that the US is using the issue of Armenian Genocide recognition as another lever for pressuring Turkey.

"Even Azerbaijan is beginning to understand that it is hurting the policy of its "older brother" with its groundless claims," stressed Sargsyan, adding that Turkey is facing the imperative of revising its position on normalization of relations with Armenia.

As for Director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Richard Kirakosian says the meeting of Turkish Prime Minister Receb Tayyib Erdogan and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in Washington led to "new hope that the "normalization" of Turkish-Armenian relations is getting back on track."

Although the meeting in Washington was Turkey's "last chance", the country is now facing new obstacles, such as the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
