Senior fellow at the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian
Academy of Sciences, Andrey Areshev said that Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a charismatic politician and he will maintain
leadership after the June 12 parliamentary election.
Turkey's policy remains unchanged, Areshev told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. According to him, Ankara is still an important actor in
Middle East, South Caucasus and Central Asia, but it is not clear
whether it will manage to pursue an intense foreign policy. "Turkey is
both subject and object of the international community," the Russian
expert said.
Areshev also recalled Turkey's main problems - Kurds and Alevis. "The
government tries to minimize the risks related to these problems,
as well as curtsies to the Armenian community. This includes also
restoration of architectural monuments, what pursues economic goals,
since the Armenian cultural heritage attracts tourists. But in general
the Armenian cause is an element of game with Europe and the U.S.,"
he said.
