YEREVAN. - The statements by Turkey's President Abdullah Gul and
FM Ahmet Davutoglu must be observed as a new manifestation of the
geopolitical rivalry between Turkey and Russia.
Armenia's National Academy of Sciences Institute of Orientology
Director, turkologist Ruben Safrastyan told the above-said toArmenian
News-NEWS.am.
Safrastyan reflected on the statements that were made during the
Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States summit, which was
convened in Azerbaijan.
"Turkey uses this event to show that it has strong positions in the
South Caucasus, especially in Azerbaijan. We need to pay attention
to the expression of 'Karabakh's liberation.' That is, Turkey would
assist Azerbaijan when 'liberating Karabakh,'" the turkologist noted.
Ruben Safrastyan expressed a view that the aforesaid is a very
perilous statement because it shows that official Ankara does not
wish to assume the role of a mediator, but rather uses the Azerbaijani
rhetoric toward resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
