The link USA-Turkey-Israel is the key threat to Armenia's
security, political expert, Sergey Shakaryants, said at today's
press-conference. He also added that just the above mentioned "three"
is trying at present at any cost to level significance and influence of
the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide.
'And the statement by Israel's foreign minister, that Israel does
not recognize the Armenian genocide, was not accidental. If Tel-Aviv
makes such sharp anti-Armenian statements, it expresses not only its
own position, but also the position of its key sponsor and strategical
partner - Washington. These two countries are not going to recognize
the genocide, as it is not beneficial to them", - Shakaryants said.
He also added that he will not be surprised if the leadership of
the USA as well as the leaders of the other Western countries will
not arrive in Armenia to take part in the memorial events, but will
visit Turkey to celebrate the so-called "Gallipoli victory".
The expert thinks that the rumors on worsening of relations between
Tel-Aviv and Ankara are a myth, as a true level and quality of
relations is determined not by the diplomatic rhetoric, but economic
cooperation. "Look, what huge investments Israel is making in the
Turkish economy, agriculture, defense industry and many other key
sectors. Against the background of such a close cooperation, all
the rest political statements simply lose their relevance", - the
expert said.
To recall, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide will be
marked on 24 April 2015. Official Ankara does not recognize the
genocide which was recognized in 24 countries of the world. There
are no diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey and the 330
km long border between these countries has been shut down since 1993
according to Ankara's initiative.
