The newly elected authorities of Turkey will temporarily "freeze" the
policy in the South Caucasus region, as activation of Ankara's role in
the Middle East is priority, Director of Oriental Studies Institute
under Armenian National Academy of Sciences, Ruben Safrastyan said
at today's press-conference.
"The first sign of Turkey's activation in the Middle East was its
mediation in the disturbances in Syria and contradictory statements
by the authorities about opening of the border for refugees and at
the same time mobilizing of the armed forces near the Syrian border",
- Safrastyan said.
He thinks that such a position may lead to isolation of Turkey because
of its growing independent and unpredictable policy.
When commenting on the parliamentary election in Turkey, he said that
the victory of the Justice and Development Party headed by Erdogan
was obvious, as during the electoral campaign it managed to reach
great success as against other political forces.
