It is not the first time Turkey endeavors to take advantage of the
inner unstable situation of neighbor countries to establish there
Turkey-oriented figures' power, Turkologist Artak Shakaryan said
today at a news conference.
Artak Shakaryan says regardless the interests Turkey has in a country,
Turkey will never miss any opportunity to launch military intervention
there and extend its borders. Several years ago Turkey and Syria signed
an agreement and established visa-free regime. Syria is considered the
first importer of Turkish goods. "Nonetheless, Turkey's geopolitical
interests are higher than the economic ones," Artak Shakaryan said.
The Turkologist says NATO's attack on Syria is almost excluded,
as Russia and China support Syria, at the same time, the states
attempting to encroach on Syria, will have to deal with Iran. "Taking
into account all these circumstances, Turkey remains the region's
only country, which instigates tending to conceal its own nimble
policy with democratic ideas," Artak Shakaryan said.
As to the Armenian community to Syria and its stance on the
inner-political crisis, Arabologist Arayik Harutyunyan said Armenians
have always supported the authorities.
