ArmInfo. Turkey's idea on creation of the Eurasian Union will more
damage its game, ex-Defense Minister Vagharshak Harutyunyan told
ArmInfo.
"I do not think that the idea on creation of the Eurasian Union,
voiced by Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu, is a regular
populist statement in Erdogan's style, since every statement hides
something. However, it is my strong belief that Turkey's current idea
will lead nowhere, as it is trying to establish relations with the
Arab and Islam world and is simultaneously in war with the USA and
Israel", he said.
The politician thinks that Ankara will be immersed in this regional
geopolicy even more, it will be short of resources to implement such
ideas as creation of the geopolitical center. "Something like this
happened after the USSR collapse when Turkey rushed into all the Turk
countries of the Soviet Union. I think the same will happen in the
context of Turkey's idea on creation of the Eurasian Union. Indeed,
there are too many disagreements and areas of influence in the Middle
east region", he said.
On February 4, during the meeting with Turkish ambassadors to Eurasian
countries, Ahmet Davutoglu offered to create nothing less than an
equivalent of the European Union in the form of the so-called Eurasian
Union. Davutoglu thought that EU countries have to cooperate more
closely and create railway, overland and maritime traffic networks.
Noteworthy, he called the future railway branch Baku-Tbilisi-Kars
as the brightest example of cooperation. This branch will be "the
shortest route" to connect Central and South-Eastern Asia with the
European Union.
