Turkish Hurriyet daily's journalist Ugur Ergan had written that
Armenia recently established diplomatic relations with Tuvalu to
persuade the latter to recognize Karabakh's independence in return
for some measures. And Hurriyet's columnist Yilmaz Ozdil and Radikal
daily's reporter Deniz Zeyrek reflected on this information.
In his column, Yilmaz Ozdil recalled that the aforesaid information
noted that Tuvalu does everything for a 'gift." For example, in return
for the amount provided by Russia last year, this country recognized
Abkhazia and South Ossetia. And in this regard Ozdil noted that Turkey
was the first country to present a "gift" to Tuvalu in return for
something, and the other countries learned from Turkey to do the same.
Deniz Zeyrek likewise recalled that Turkey, in its campaign to become
a UN Security Council temporary member, had started close diplomatic
contacts with Tuvalu. And "Turkey became generous in terms of
constructing public buildings [in] and sending footballs [to Tuvalu]."
And how will Ankara-which manifested a generous attitude to buy the
[UN] vote of Tuvalu-react if Tuvalu recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh in
return for money? Will Ankara ask for its footballs back from Tuvalu?",
Radikal's reporter asks.
