YEREVAN. -Turkey's neighbors will have to confront the Sunni
integration, political analyst Sergey Kurginyan said.
The alliance of Sunni states supported by the United States has
launched an active struggle in the Middle East, he said, speaking in
Politologists' Union of Armenia on Monday.
`The strategic alliance of radical Sunni Islamism - not Islam which I
respect, but Islamism - is obvious. In any territory to which we pay
attention, we see evidence of this, including Iran. It's time to
finally see that the Taliban and al-Qaeda are the main allies of the
United States. Now they are dividing Taliban into `peaceful' and
`non-peaceful'. Have you seen a peaceful Talib?' he said.
The expert stressed we should not forget that Turkey is a major Sunni state.
`How will states with rich history, but a small area and a small
population, respond to the integration of Sunni forces actively
supported by the United States? The answers to these questions must be
found,' Kurginyan said.
He noted that even Israel, in spite of all its strategic interests,
begins to support the invasion of Sunni forces into Syria.
`This is the influence of pressure. And the pressure is caused by the
fact that the U.S. did not have enough forces to establish the world
order,' he added.
