RUSSIA WILL PAY TURKEY WITH KARABAKH
Interesting geopolitical events are happening in our big region which
will surely impact on Armenia at a certain moment.
In particular, Turkey launched intensive foreign political initiatives,
the essence of which is to attempt to escape from major problems
expected for Ankara by 2015.
Turkish prime minister Erdogan is working at several fronts: Turkey
initiated the creation of the united army of several Turkic states;
Turkey stated that it does not mind joining the Shanghai cooperation
organization; Turkey tries to settle relations with the Kurds; Turkey
forced France to change its stance on the country's accession to
the EU.
We could continue the list, but it is evident that all these steps
are perceived exclusively in the context of neo-osmanism, which is
not approved either by the West, or Russia, Arab countries or Iran.
It is because Turkey puts forward great aims, its steps to improve
relations are perceived by many with hostility. And that is why
Turkey's initiatives end in nothing, as in the case of Israel, Iran
and now Syria.
Now Erdogan is trying to neutralize the Kurdish threat, settling
relations with Ocalan. It is not ruled out that Turkey will free
Ocalan if the latter agrees to move the Kurdish self-determination
from turkey to the Northern Iraq and Syria. But Erdogan, most likely,
understands that it won't stop the Kurdish movement, but it will
become stronger if Ocalan is freed.
Turks are trying to improve relations with Russia, as they were
"offended" with Europe. Europe is secretly a Christian club, and
Turkey knows that it is never going to be accepted. Putin's Eurasian
ideology supposes for multi-confessionalism, and this attracts Erdogan.
In 2015, the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
genocide. If the Turkish leadership does not solve the Kurdish issue
by then, the Armenian genocide may become the reason of losing the
territorial integrity of Turkey. The only country, which may save
Turkey, is Russia. Erdogan is now striving to it.
A couple of years ago, when Russia launched the Armenian-Turkish
rapprochement, it was barely possible to stop what Turkey wanted so
much: official recognition of its current borders by Armenia. After
Armenia refused, or it was helped to refuse, Russia was forced to
"pay" Turkey by handing to Erdogan the original copy of the Moscow
Treaty, which Western Armenia was departed to Turkey.
How will Russia pay to Turkey now? Will it present it Karabakh?
