Turkologist Artak Shakaryan said that Turkey has committed a
provocation against Israel, pursuing several goals - to gain Iran's
trust, obtain dividends among the electorate on the threshold of the
parliamentary elections, as well as enhance Turkey's positions in
the eyes of the Arab world countries.
"It should be taken into consideration that parliamentary elections
will be held in Turkey next year, thus, the Turkish authorities
are trying to satisfy Islamist moods in Turkey and gain Iran's trust
through the anti-Israeli propaganda," Shakaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
"But I do not think that serious changes are observed in the
Turkish-Israeli relations. Turkey knows that after the elections it
will manage to normalize the relations with Israel," the Turkologist
stressed. However, the expert has not excluded the possibility that
the tension in the Turkish-Israeli relations may serve as a new
stimulus for discussion of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the
Israeli parliament.
After more than 10 people died in an Israeli operation on aid-carrying
ships bound for Gaza, among them Turkish vessels, Turkey has warned
Israel that the incident may lead to irreparable consequences in
the two countries' bilateral relations. The Turkish Foreign Ministry
recalled the ambassador to Israel upon the military assault.
Besides, Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy was summoned to the Turkish
Foreign Ministry as hundreds gathered outside Israeli missions to
protest the assault.
