The developments in the Middle East are getting chaotic, Director
of the Oriental Studies Institute, expert of Turkish studies Ruben
Safrastyan told a press conference today. According to him, this is
caused by the "Arab spring," the interference of the West and some
regional countries, he said, adding that the situation is really
worrisome in this regard.
Touching upon the continuous riots in Turkey, Ruben Safrastyan noted
that despite the economic growth, the years of Erdogan's government
are characterized by authoritarianism, which thousands are protesting
against at Gezi Park.
As a result, a new political force might emerge before the local
elections in Turkey next spring, Safrastyan said. He did not rule
out, however, that Erdogan might undertake adventurism and launch
short-term military actions in Syria to reinforce his positions.
Director of the Oriental Studies Institute welcomes the legal solutions
of consequences of the Armenian Genocide. At the same time, he doubts
whether the Armenian party is ready to transfer the issue to the
legal field.
