/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As a strategic partner to Israel, Turkey turns
into Israel's strategic partner as well, Shahan Kandaharian,
Editor-in-Chief of Beirut-based "Aztag" newspaper said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Turkish Premier's schedule of Syria visit was rather tight. Around
56 agreements were signed. We must remember that Turkey is acting as
a mediator between Syria and Israel," Kandaharian said, reminding that
recent meeting of Turkish President Abdullah Gul to Kuwait testified to
activation of Turkish foreign policy in Middle East and Arabian world.
"From regional viewpoint, Syria is the main step for Turkey on the way
to establishing strategic collaboration with Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq."
"Ankara has so far managed to retain balance between Israel and Arabian
states. In near future, Ankara's mediator mission success will become
easier to assess," he noted, adding that this is the decisive reason
for strengthening or extermination of Turkish factor.
