Director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan is confident
that the Turkish-Israeli conflict will not grow into military actions.
The tension between the two countries is not a new phenomenon, what's
new is the level of that tension, he told reporters today.
According to the political scientist, this tension and the aggravation
of relations with a former partner is dictated by Turkey's aspiration
to play a greater role in the Middle East.
"It's necessary to spoil relations with Israel in order to play a
greater role in the Middle East. It fits into the framework of the
Turkish-Israeli and Turkish-Iraqi relations," he stated.
Iskandaryan sees no prospects for a breakthrough in the
Armenian-Turkish relations before the parliamentary elections in
Turkey.
