"This development gives hope for the establishment of peace and stability in the region," he said. The Radikal newspaper and its publicist Denise Zeyrek drew attention to the fact that the visit is not official. He believes that due to this fact the visit will not resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Expert on the Caucasus of the political science institute "Strategic Perspective of Turkey" Mehmed Fatih Oztarsu suggested that Davutoglu will discuss the current problems of bilateral relations during his visit. "Yerevan is also optimistic about Davutoglu's visit, which is expected to demonstrate the positive attitude of the Turkish side. But the development of events will also depend on the Armenian side... 4 years later Davutoglu makes the first move and the Armenians will have to decide what to do next," Oztarsu believes.
