Battle actions in Syria will negatively affect Karabakh conflict
settlement process, director of the "Noravank" fund, Gagik Harutyunyan,
said at today's press-conference.
He said that Syria is de-facto in war which in future may turn into
a military operation of the USA and its allies against Iran. He also
added that such a scenario is beneficial to Turkey which is pretending
to the status of regional superpower. "Turkey itself is an interested
party in the Karabakh conflict, and the growth of its influence will
bring dividends to Azerbaijan which is eager to settle the conflict
by means of war. As for Turkey, it also wants to have a lark at
the territory of Armenia", - he said. The expert added that some
optimistic political experts draw another actions plan, in particular,
continuation of the "Arab spring" in Turkey. Such development of events
would be beneficial to Armenia, but it is hardly possible, he said.
The modern Turkey has nothing in common with that of the 90-s, he said
and added that at present Ankara has been trying to get beyond control
of Russia and the USA and to play its own part at the Middle East.
Turkey's attitude to Iran and Syria is stemming from this, he said.
"It is no secret that the USA and Russia cannot any more dictate their
rules to Turkey. But it is not clear yet if Moscow and Washington can
keep Turkey from attacking Syria. However, taking into consideration
the fact that there are many interested parties in the Syrian issue -
EU, China, the USA and Russia, the above mentioned global players will
take measures to mortify Ankara, and civil war will go on developing
in Syria", - he said. At the same time, he added that the returning
point has been already lost and suspension of the "Arab spring"
is impossible, as the situation has already run out of control of
its scenarists.
