TURKEY'S DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS ARE AIMED AT REPLACING RUSSIAN BASES IN
GEORGIA BY ITS OWN ONES
Yerevan, April 28. ArmInfo. If one looks at what is going on around
Iran, one can see that Turkey has intensified its diplomatic dialogue
with Washington: Ankara is trying to derive as much profit as possible
from the situation and the Americans are interested in Turkey, says
expert of Turkey Ruben Safrastyan.
He says that Turkey's efforts are aimed at replacing the Russian bases
in Georgia by its own ones. In 2001-2002 the Americans decided to act
in the region on their own rather than through Turkey and it was then
that they sent their instructors to Georgia, says Safrastyan. But
things may change. The US needs Turkey in its actions against Iran and
so the Americans may allow the Turks to intensify their activities in
the region
