On the state level, all the fairy tales about Turkish 'reconciliation' with Armenians make me sick.

Is there another modus vivvendi for Armenian goverment in perspetives of russian Caicasus abandonig&?

Well, the main thing for Armenia is to get rid of illusions and develop political strategy that will not make it too much dependent on any other state. How to do it is another matter, but nothing is impossible. In case of Turkey, unless it officially recognizes the Genocide, there is no way of reconciliation. Even if we wanted to, it would be impossible, due to the politics of aggression this country holds towards Armenia and the history in general.
