with Ilham Aliyev.'

Mushegh Khudaverdyan made a comparison between Nazarbayev's statement
and the behavior by the leadership of Hungary two years ago, when
Ramil Safarov was surrendered to Azerbaijan `Lately, the fight between
superpowers, particularly Russia and the West, entered a new phase,'
announced turkologist Mushegh Khudaverdyan, today, on June 6, at the
meeting in `Noah's Ark' media center. To the question of Aravot.am of
how he will assess Nazarbayev's statement, the turkologist replied
that the statement was a sign that despite Armenia is joining the
Customs Union, nevertheless, Kazakhstan still specific interests with
regard to Azerbaijan. `With his statement Nazarbayev wants to win the
favor with Ilham Aliyev so that Kazakhstan would not have any problems
with its relations with Azerbaijan during their further joint
projects.' We also inquired whether this statement was not just
winning the favor, or it had another context, Mushegh Khudaverdyan
responded that it was definitely a statement supporting the view by
Ilham Aliyev's administration. `According to me, this incurred not so
much from Nazarbayev's anti-Armenian, but from the perspective of
coincidence with interests of Azerbaijan at the moment. Nazarbayev's
this behavior can be compared with the behavior by leadership of
Hungry two years ago when Ramil Safarov was surrendered to Azerbaijan
as Hungary hoped to start a broad partnership with Azerbaijan on gas
industry.' To our question of who the relations between Syria and
Turkey will proceed after Bashar al-Assad's election as President of
Syria, the turkologist responded that Syria and Turkey are not so much
state controversies, as intergovernmental. Particularly, ErdoÄ?an's
`Justice and Development' party is getting funds and assistance from
the United States for years, therefore, ErdoÄ?an has tried for years to
protect the interests of the U.S. in the region, going against Bashar
al-Assad. `However, now we see that the relations between Turkey and
U.S. have become tense, and in this view, it is hard to make
predictions of whether the Turkish-Syrian relations can be aggravated
or will remain on the same level as today.'
