Last year Turkey's foreign policy was a complete failure, expert of
Turkish studies Andranik Ispiryan said. According to him, the West
lost trust in Turkey because of the latter's independent policy line
on Syria.
Turkey took independent steps by arming the radicals, thus failing
to meet the expectations of the West, he said. The improvement of
relations with Iran is a counterbalance to Turkey, the expert added.
Ispiryan predicts a weakening of Turkey's role in the region in the
future. According to him, a hard year is awaiting Turkey, judging
from the arrests and dismissals that started last year.
The expert does not rule out, that Turkey will try to take steps
in the Karabakh issue, but considers that the general geopolitical
developments, the opportunities of Iran-Customs Union cooperation
will deprive Turkey of the opportunity to interfere in regional issues.
