Expert in Iran, member of "Homeland" party Vardan Voksanyan reflected on Facebook on the outcomes of the recent meeting between Russian and Turkish FMs held in Antalya.  

"All details of the recent meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu, especially at the level of the rhetoric, should be analyzed through a magnifying glass amid the absence of any specific content of the talks. Since in the diplomatic language there are no unimportant words, it is noteworthy that Russian top diplomat used a very interesting term for Russian-Turkish relations when it came to the Armenia-Azerbaijan and Artsakh issues. He used the word 'interaction' («взаимодействие») instead of cooperation («сотрудничество»),"  Voskanyan wrote. 

"This rhetoric comes to prove once again that despite the visibly positive backdrop Russia and Turkey compete rather than cooperate in the South Caucasus  which is characterized by the diplomatic word of 'interaction' from the Russian side," added the expert.
