10:45, 15 January, 2014
YEREVAN, JANUARY 15, ARMENPRESS. Turkologist Artak Shakaryan finds that
there is no alternative to Erdogan's Justice and Development Party
for Armenia, as the Kemalists and extremists are more sympathetic
towards Azerbaijan and have more anti-Armenian tendencies.
In a conversation with "Armenpress" News Agency Artak Shakaryan
highlighted that generally the issue of the Armenian-Turkish relations
is not included in Turkey's agenda. Currently the neighboring country
has to face with other significant issues and the Prime Minister of
Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared in an awkward situation.
Among other things Artak Shakaryan underscored: "Turkish PM Recep
Tayyip Erdogan spent the last 5 year preparing for the presidential
elections scheduled to be held in August and Turkey's current
situation is troublesome for both Erdogan and his party. The most
drastic issue Erdogan has to face with now is that he cannot occupy
the same position for more than three times. Hence, the sole way to
continue his political career is to become a President.
Notwithstanding, in accordance with Turkish Constitution the President
cannot be a member of any party." (THE FULL VERSION OF THE ARTICLE
