    DRAWING ANKARA INTO SOUTH CAUCASUS, MOSCOW TRIES TO DIMINISH U.S. INFLUENCE ON THE REGION

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Self-efficiency is manifestation of independence. The
    same refers to Ankara's regional policy, NKR political scientist David
    Babayan wrote in a peace of opinion titled "Global, regional and local
    levels of latest political transformations in the South Caucasus,"
    obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

    "Self-efficiency should be maintained both in internal and external
    policies. One of its components is a certain system of values that
    underlies the "two states, one nation" formula invented in early
    1990-ies.

    Turkism or Turkic solidarity outlines a game of many moves. The
    point is that drawing Ankara into the South Caucasus, Moscow tries to
    diminish the U.S. influence on the region. It's quite clear that if
    the regional problems are discussed by regional powers, exterritorial
    countries will hardly penetrate into the process," he wrote.

    Ankara's engagement into the South Caucasus geopolitics can cause
    problems in Turkey and throughout Middle East, according to Babayan.

    "Turkism as a basis of Turkish self-sufficiency will inevitably
    affect the Kurdish population, whose ethnic area is contiguous to
    the Transcaucasia. Turkism will also arouse serious concerns in
    Iran. Besides, it's beyond Europe's interests, since the process can
    become unpredictable," he said.
