    TURKEY'S GOAL TO DRIVE WEDGE BETWEEN ARMENIA AND DIASPORA, EXPERT SAYS

    Turkey wants to prove that it allegedly has friendly relations with
    neighbors, excluding Armenia from a list of countries posing threat,
    Turkish studies expert Ruben Melkonyan told NEWS.am.

    "In fact Armenia cannot be considered as an external threat to Turkey.

    However, Turkey's actions pursue far-reaching goal to drive a wedge
    between Armenia and Diaspora. This step may be followed by a statement
    indicating that Diaspora, not Armenia, is posing threat from the
    viewpoint of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide,"
    the expert said.

    As to the fact that Israel is considered a threat by Turkey, Melkonyan
    noted that doing so Ankara wants to strengthen its position in Muslim
    world and show that Turkey's actions against Israel are intentional
    but not just demonstrative.

    As NEWS.am reported earlier, Turkish National Security Council excluded
    Armenia, along with Syria, Bulgaria Iran and Georgia from the list
    of countries posing external threat. The council adopted national
    security strategy for 5 years. Ankara termed Israel's actions as
    threat for the first time since 1949.
