    Erdogan needs a weak premier today, says Armenian Turkologist

    16:25 * 22.08.14


    Turkey's president-elect Recep wants a weak prime minister to be able
    to use him as a marionette, an Armenian Turkologist has said,
    commenting on the former premier's move to name FM Davutoglu as his
    successor.

    "Davutoglu, who is ideologically closer to [former prime minister
    recept Recep Tayyip] Erdogan is weak as a political figure, so he is
    the most suitable candidate, " Artak Shakaryan told Tert.am.

    He described the move as an attempt to change the form of government
    in Turkey, noting that the results of parliamentary election are not
    likely to be decisive at all.

    Shakaryan said he doesn't think that that the replacement of the
    country's president and prime minister does not imply a change in
    foreign policies. As for the outgoing president, Abdullah Gul, the
    expert pointed out to existing controversies between him and Mr
    Erdogan.

    "Gul was obviously in conflicts with Erdogans in the recent years. Gul
    is a more ponderous figure in any case, so if he were to become a
    prime minister, he would probably be Erdogan's marionette," he added.
